Well, this finally makes sense.

None of the red cone sensitivity plots I've seen previously showed secondary
peak, but that's because they were always cut somewhere in the blue region.

Hi! I wrote the Neurosphere article you're discussing, and noticed this lively
comments section. I agree with the question you're asking - if she was born
this way, why did she question it? From the research I did on her life, it
appears that she always assumed people could see these colours, and apparently
when teaching her students in art school she would try to say things like "Try
to depict all the colours you see in this leaf, like the turquoise and orange
on the sides..." and her students often just found it too embarassing to tell
her they didn't see any of these colours. She slowly started realising that
her colour perception may be different, until one day a neurology student
taking her class suggested she took a genetic test. That's it. Since then I
suppose she has really harnessed the results of the test to market her vibrant
art as reflecting her 'tetrachromatic reality'. Some people have commented on
Twitter questioning this, and it's something I think I will write about in the
near future because it's a completely fair point.

I thought in females half of X chromosomes are deactivated as to not producing
conflicting similar proteins. If the extra cone gene is on the deactivated
half, then it is not produced. It is suggested that imperfect deactivation
leads to female increased occurrence of autoimmune syndromes over males.
