If I wrote a program to find things that were green before time t, and things that were blue after time t, I owuld not save any time on the programing by making it just look for grue. Grue could not be coherently defined without committing to observers, but green could be defined (even if very complicatedly) without reference to observers, and thus we can be realists about it. I am a realist about green, and not about grue. THis makes sense since grue requires observers in its definition.
Meanwhile, in a parallel universe, grue-potato wrote this, and grue-taw is trying to make him see that green is just as consistent.
