I added some emphasis to your quote to indicate the part I disagree with. You probably live someplace where a trip above the arctic circle in late June seems too exotic to imagine. The sky is blue when the Sun shines at midnight, just like any other time. You can see images from the South Pole station that show this if you don't feel like making the trip yourself.

I can assure you from first hand observation that there is daylight in the sky, and you are wrong to put it in my mouth that I said otherwise.
