an otherwise "innocent" honeycomb hole will have a CTCTT, instead of the CTT
before the first pin (afterwards, it's business as usual)... An all black
diagram -- unless it's a *thread by thread* one (and, personally, I don't
wanna "go there" <g>) will *not* show it; <<<

Not so.  Those odd exceptions can be marked with a small dot next to the
stitch.  Warns you that "here comes that special spot again."

>>>Only dogs are truly colour blind, and we're not even sure about them :) 
People have trouble distinguishing between *pairs* of colours; they do 
not see everything as black/white/grey....Red/green (and, often, yellow) 
are the the colours of the street-lights, so anyone familiar with those 
will have made adjustments.<<<

That's not been my experience!  Granted, I've mostly known red-green
colorblind people (most were ornithologists, oddly enough!).  They say if
someone TELLS them "this is red" and then they concentrate, they can sort of
see it, but can't if they're not *already* sure.  I had a teacher who
pointed to a duck and we had to name it (on a test).  In order to be sure we
were naming the correct bird, one student asked, "the one with the green
head?"  The teacher was shocked--all these years he'd thought mallards had
black heads.

Street lights are learned by position, not by seeing the actual color.
Color-blind people have a devil of a time when a street light is turned
sideways, and get into accidents if they aren't familiar with the light in
question.
