    I don’t think the shadows at night thing is genetics. Think that’s more of a paying attention lol. People say they can’t see and that’s because they’re looking for details and colour. In the dark you’re looking for outlines and shadows. I learned this from my flight instructor. But it’s a skill more people need to learn. This isn’t to say night blindness doesn’t exist.

      Nah, I figured this out in the military. I was always the last guy to start using my night vision device. Now, to be fair this was 20+ years ago and night vision devices have come a long way since then. Even in my years we got an upgrade that was much better and I used it a lot more. But I was also the one guy hitting all the night fire targets. So there was definitely something there before I went and got old.
