Not necessarily.
His cones could fail, leaving him unable to distinguish between different frequencies of light, but his rods – which detect only differences in amplitude – might still work fine.
He’d see only light & dark, aka black & white.
Therefore, he must be lying.

I don't get the jinxing thing.
Throughout my childhood, it was something you don’t say to the pitcher. I don’t give a shit if an announcer or a fan says it. And it’s not like there has ever, ever in history been a no-hitter when no one in the universe said anything while it was happening. And I’ve heard announcers “jinx” pitchers before, and they still go onto throw the no-hitter.
Sorry, I’m not trying to get overly logical about something that’s exactly the opposite, but I guess I think it’s fine for fans and announcers to talk about it. Just not within earshot of the pitcher.
