My interpretation is that a sizable majority are being very serious. People from my coding bootcamp have been discussing it on Slack for a while now... and it's embarrassing.

1. I'm sure that deep down most people know that it's some sort of optical illusion, but there's a difference between "If I really really really examined my beliefs, this is what I'd find" and "this is what I believe after taking 5 seconds to think about it".

2. I really get the sense that the overwhelming majority doesn't get the idea that "true color" doesn't exist.
