@ragingloli All your indictments of human perception are accurate. Citing them as if they do not apply to you is probably not. :-)
@RealEyesRealizeRealLies & @gondwanalon Eyes that don’t lie? A law professor once devised an experiment to teach his students how imperfect human perception can be. He was in the midst of a lecture when a crazed man burst into the room, pulled a revolver and fired several shots at the professor, who immediately went down. The gunman then fled the room. When the gunman was gone and enough time had gone by for the effect to sink in, the professor got back up and explained that this was just an experiment, and that the gun was loaded with blanks. He was unharmed, he assured them.
He then asked all 30 law students to refrain from discussing what happened with each other, but to write up all the details they could recall. What resulted was 30 completely unique descriptions. The gunman was tall or of average height or short, dark skinned or white, had anything from blond to black hair, did or did not wear a hat, had every colored shirt under the rainbow on, and fired anywhere from 1 to 6 shots. When we are under duress, our perceptions are pathetically poor.
@YARNLADY You were probably able to see more of Apollo Robbins moves to misdirect attention than most of us then, but did you catch them all?
@LuckyGuy That’s a terrific chart. So true. Even if our perceptions were perfect in the bandwidth they do over, they miss far more than 99% of what happens simply because most of the electromagnetic and sound radiation bandwidth is that outside the window we are even able to perceive.
