2. Fred and George are identical twins. At birth, however, Fred had a computer chip implanted in his eye that inverts colors so that red things look blue, green things looks orange, orange things look green etc. Mom held up a lime and said, "This color is green". George had the experience of seeing a green thing, Fred had the experience of seeing an orange thing, and both learned to call things that led them to have that sort of experience "green." Later on George and Fred see a lime (under ideal observing conditions) and both come to believe that the lime is green. It seems right to say that George knows that the lime is green, but does Fred? Justify your answer in detail and relate it to what Locke has to say about secondary qualities.
