even more perfect pitch

list,
I agree that perfect pitch is about frequency recognition/identification
by human ear.  I personally believe everyone has this ability.  Consider
dogs who are "color blind" with respect to human.  And dogs still can be
trained to recognize color!  Maybe "we" are "hearing blind" with respect
to dogs, who knows?  Just as trained dogs can identify colors by its
darkness or lightness, some of us can identify (range of) frequencies of
audible sound.
	Sound and light are actually not that different from each other
(except they travel differently at same speed).  Different colors of light
are of different frequecy and different pitches of sound are of different
frequency.  So, do we have "perfect color" or "perfect sight"?  I don't
know, you decide for yourself :)
