In my posting explaining the basics of color perception, I consistently
made the error of switching the terms "rod" and "cone" (my upcoming article
on low-level brain damage will explain why).

If you switch these terms throughout the article, it will be improved, and
perhaps even correct. So: cones come in three color-sensitive flavors,
while there is only one kind of rod which is used in dim lighting.
