Exactly! That was my point, that by calling the calvin cycle "dark" it was a misnomer, called wrong, incorrect, dubiously labeled, misleading etc...

people hear "dark" and they think obviously, dark no light... but that is wrong to think that. It's bypassing the truth which is more complicated than "light makes plants grow, dark lets them sleep" 3rd grade mentality...

But it's like atheism, it's not a rejection of god, it's a lack of requirement for god... the calvin cycle is not a rejection of light, it's a lack of requirement for light...
