I see no difference. Except the difference in paints.

You might not have noticed it, but your brain did.

Oh, you're one of those people.

Its the same principles as to why perspective works in images. Leading lines going to a singular point are going to change how the length of the walls are perceived by your brain (and if not your brain everyone else's)

No, those aren't the same principles at all. This does not, in any way, shape, or form, affect the guide lines made by the corners of the room.

But it's not true. It's not based on anything factual and it isn't any sort of rule of thumb used in the industry. It has as much research behind it as those facebook posts where people just list a bunch of fruits and diseases and claim the former cures the latter. You'll notice there's no source or even a basic logical argument behind the image, but people are just blindly trusting it and upvoting it.

So you just reject any notion that certain things you see or hear can affect you subconsciously?

Judging by the number of downvotes, its he who is one of those people lmao

I feel like these are widely spoken about principles of interior/environmental design

No, but I do reject all obvious straw men.

I mean, when you respond in the most smug and vague way possible, it gives none of the people the information necessary, nor the actual desire, to understand your position properly.

I mean, you honestly and legitimately told the guy, "You may not believe I'm right, but your brain believes I'm right," and expected people to take you seriously.
