Early morning in Grand Marais, Minnesota. This gull began a day's flying, gliding, fishing, treasure hunting; and of course, spectating at the foolish things humans do. Cheers, Mike.

Michael,
... we are ready to act with only a fraction of the information available, and because using this approach we often make good guesses, we have come to be ever more confident of our ability to assess things with insufficient information.
Trumpism is an example of that sense of being a "naturally street smart" person, who despite lacking knowledge, experience and insight, can instinctively know the truth of the matter!
The job of rationalism and enlightment is to oppose such approaches to problem

Michael,
There's a special advantage to using your added hue. That causes a suppression of the entire detailed, (may I venture to even cautiously say, cluttered"), background. This, in a way, is akin to blurring the background.
There is, in many natural scenes, too much details and lenses are to sharp and define too much outside the main subject. So any procedure, (such as this), which paints "commonness" to the outside of the main subject, adds clarity to the sense of the picture.
As the headmaster used to say in the morning Grammar School assembly, after that day's quote from the bible, "Here endeth the lesson"!
