So are you saying the most people believe that the phrase "X is blue" is to be taken to mean "X absorbs lightwaves in the blue part of the spectrum"?
If that is the case, then indeed most people are wrong. (I don't belive that this is the case however).
Now if you were stating that there is no "blue-stuff" intrinsically a part of blue objects, then I would most certainly agree with you. (But then again I would be so "crazy" as to go as far as asserting that there is no "blue-stuff" in the mind either).
But I don't think people believe that there is "essence of table" intrinsically a part of their furniture either. (see my table post above)
