I wouldn't call it 'tainted', just the common one that is being used for a reason. Every wheel that site listed had its flaws; Just cuz this one is the commonly accepted one, doesn't make it evil. If someone just says "colour wheel", they mean the commonly used, paint-based one, not one of the lesser-used minor wheels. Sure, on the other wheels, Blue and Blue-Green are the opposites, but this wasn't specified, so SOMEONE was going to correct it eventually.

You don't have to be so terse with me for daring to speak up, too. That'll sure teach me for actually trying to socialise with fellow fans once in a while. :\
