Indeed, the postulations (G. Mendel, et al.) are valid. The responses are appreciated! But isn't it remarkable that "she (AA) has eye color exactly like my sister/friend/student (FS), etc." is seemingly not known to have come forth publically from those who were old enough to have clearly remembered FS (the Meyers, etc.). As stated, eye colors cannot be changed in the same person.. To my recollection, while the shape of the face, height, voice, gait, etc, were commented upon regarding the comparasion of AA with FS, the duplicate eye colors are apparently never mentioned! It would appear that in the contest to identify, everyone was "blinded by the light" of their remembrance/s of the Emperor's eyes and to BELIEVE! To use a wry, but true pun: "If you want to hide something, put it in plain sight!" Luck. luck, luck! (I am still hoping to hear of a documented contemporary reference to the eye color similiarity/duplication in AA and FS.) Regards, AP.
