&gt; Seems strange to phrase this as something that adults can no longer see.<p>Its factually accurate.<p>&gt; If anything, it just shows that adult brains are more sophisticated in interpreting visual information.<p>&quot;Interpreting&quot; is mostly throwing out the parts that are less likely to be relevant and keeping the parts that are more likely to be relevant. Obviously, this is a good thing on balance, and nothing in the article suggests that it is not.<p>It also involves not being able to as easily recognize certain difference (which are less likely to be important in most practical cases, but nevertheless are real differences.)
