As is our notion of a circle, a real and tangible thing, as to how we define real and tangible surfaces or areas, and process those perceptions (but amusingly not dependent on how we process them or even if we are there to process them at all - something quite a bit different from "red"). Any area or surface that fits the definition of a circle is a circle whether or not there is someone there to percieve it as such, but red positively relies on there being someone or something there that perceives light in such a manner.
Lets just rehash what you disagreed with......
""Red" is not an intrinsic property of light, it's merely a way for humans to describe how our eyes perceive certain wavelengths."
To which you replied,
"Actually, for us it is."
Which perfectly explains why it is not, in as little as two words no less. Impressive. The rest is unnecessary, and in truth, you now seem to have failed to disagree with me in any way (but seemed to feel compelled to disagree nevertheless).
