Reminds me of my undergrad Computer Graphics prof who spent a lecture explaining
how the red, green and blue _electrons_ came from their respective guns to
make a color image...upon cross examination, she revealed that the electrons
themselves were indeed red, green, and blue.

She also consumed an entire hour demonstraiting the vector transformations
to progect a 3D virtual image into a 2D raster, and did every transformation
backwards.  (I came in late and didn't figure out where she got this wierd
stuff on the board from untill it was too late to correct within the hour.)
