Since nobody knows exactly how the ear works you cannot say that compressed
audio do not damace your ears, too. Monitors are a different thing. It's not
true they can display only three colours, because each chromatic component
is not pure. Only some lasers can emit perfectly monochromatic light. btw,
retina cells cannot see the whole visible spectrum like the ears do. You
can only see three sub-bands of the spectrum.

Bye.
