atw: Re: Permanent job; Melbourne (inner west)

The brain does not always get a full image and then starts
making inferences.  If there is an apparently-impossible 
anomaly, it is changed to fit pre-conceived ideas e.g. the film 
clip of a girl sitting on one couch who stands up and walks 
towards the identical couch on the opposite side of the room. 
She appears to grow taller, but actually the couch on the 
opposite side is miniaturised - the image was adjusted to 
accord with previous experience.  
 
That may explain why witness statements can be so different.

I believe that is the visual equivalent of a Freudian slip.
