I wouldn’t be sure, the vision system has an amazing ability to adept to rewiring. Monkeys were able to see another color through gene therapy that their species hadn’t seen before.
Indeed there’s rewiring over time, but it wouldn’t be instant and it wouldn’t be total, so the point stands.
That’s a really interesting experiment—can you find me a link?
