It literally would... Because of the type of blindness they're talking about...

An article talking about something doesn't make it true. "Because of the type of blindness we're talking about" doesn't explain anything, and that kind of 'trust me bro' blanket pseudo-rationalization doesn't scratch the surface of how we'd be able to understand the perceptions of someone who's preceptive foundation is fundamentally different from our own.

But keep telling me how that doesn't mesh with the article.
