Cone cells have fairly peaked frequency responses, and due to random projections caused by the cascading, this is sufficient to fully reconstruct the signal, i.e. the converse of the statement is true, you can retain 99.9% of the perceptual information using 3 sensors, all you need is to perceive in time and some randomness in the sensor placement.
