Because Pawns & Symbols goofed.  Klingons CAN see red.  Read
The Final Reflection.  Krenn saw red on P. 54, 117, 141, 191, 220,
and 247.  An important file, the "Red," file is referenced
to all over the place.  See P. 216 for reference.

Actually, it's easier to tell a Klingon than that.  Just put
a Klingon in front of a cheap CRT monitor for a few hours.
His eyes will go out, long before a human's.

On a semi-related note, has anybody wondered why humans don't
learn Klingonese?  We all can learn your language.  Aren't
you capable of learning ours?
