Seems strange to phrase this as something that adults can no longer see. If anything, it just shows that adult brains are more sophisticated in interpreting visual information.

Its factually accurate.

"Interpreting" 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.
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.)
