What do you do about theoretically observable but difficult to observe
characteristics?  Such as the color of a smaller pyramid inside a weird
opaque pyramid providing a very limited angle from which the inner
pyramid can be viewed?

What about the tendency of some transparent pyramids to make it
difficult to discern the color of enclosed transparent pyramids without
obscuring them?  I can never tell what color most things inside a blue
are.
