The brain seems to do 90% error correction. Once you learn how human vision actually works it seems miraculous that it works at all.

That's true of so many things isn't? At my graduation (EE as well as CS, is why it's relevant) I said to my dad that I'm still completely baffled by the simplest AM radio, forget WiFi.
I understand it (especially then), but it's just crazy isn't it, that it actually works? Discovering/theorising and then prototyping some of this fundamental stuff and seeing that for the first time must have been absolutely incredible.
