Visual perception is very much enhanced by a lot of mental hardware that fills in blanks and also uses memory of what was previously seen to maintain that mental image that we call “sight”. It’s why you struggle with something fundamentally new the first time you see it - you need to model it in your mind and develop a method of recognizing it so the hardware acceleration can be trained. Conversely this is why surprisingly superficial camouflage works - it hacks the hardwired shortcuts that even the most cursory of proper examination would defeat.
