Suspectability topic

Despite my age, I am not fooled by illusions. The circles have are not wearing clothes. :roll:

What I'm wondering is why a person would see it that way 'with life experience'.


I remember reading an article quite awhile back about how if you raise cats in rooms with vertical stripes painted on the walls they stop seeing them or.... something, I don't remember now. I'm thinking maybe it's not so much "life experience" but a sensory pattern recognition conditioning thing, maybe?

They looked the same to me, too. Only when I looked for longer, I started realizing that sometimes it does look like they're different in size, but not at first glance.

Yeah, they're clearly the same size.
