The first article state :

 

“But all of his tests showed that these women could only perceive the same 
colours as the rest of us - which meant only three of their cone cell types 
were working, so they weren't true tetrachromats.”

Well, some academics managed to locate a FUNCTIONING tetrachromat.

 

I guess that may be humbling for those on list, who believe they are good at 
distinguishing hues :)

Edmund,

 

According to some of my readings and talk with some knowledgeable academic 
people, the fact that some women can have a fourth cone in their retina does 
not necessarily translate into a different set of cmf?

I guess you're right. In particular a tetrachromat human female will perceive a 
different world from a run of the mill trichromat male ...
