Dude, this is a discussion of science. Belief has no place in it. You're arguing that one spike for each of the known visual-pathway receptors should be enough to cover human response to light. I've been arguing from the original post you responded to onwards that the 70% of light information that doesn't go to the visual cortex is probably frequency-sensitive. This being scientific and all, I've provided a handful of links that back that hypothesis up.

We agree about just about everything, but I'm sad you're so stuck on the converting-light-into-vision stuff that you're blowing off the converting-light-into-timing-or-mood-or-other stuff. No doubt there is some number of spikes in the right frequencies and intensities to obviate all health effects from quantized light. The question is whether or not we consider systems of the body other than the visual system when guessing at these spikes.
