Why is it that human perception is so uniquely capable of reading faces in 
the real world, but suddenly becomes paralyzed in the face of a color

Are we really some bunch of intellectual magpies easily distracted by 
colorful baubles?

I don't buy it.

A red shirt does not prevent me from seeing a tear in an eye. If it does 
you, you have my sympathy.
