And to a certain extent all of us see what we expect to
see. No one is so pure that they are without bias. No matter how hard
they try.
Another aspect of being human is that our brains are wired differently,
which causes us to filter information through different thought processes and
with varying results. Certainly some people have greater and lesser abilities to
see artifacts on the ground, detect soil color and density change, interpret
quantities of things, even sorting different things into different
categories. Take all those people to attempted to build computerized models to quantify
arrangements of objects or broken things in an attempt to test for patterns
of behavior, only to dispute each other on identification, arrangement,
method of quantification, presentation of data and interpretation. Then factor in
different levels of academic training, different theories (some better
understood than others), or perhaps even our own spiritual feelings, and you find
people creating "fantasy truth" to explain what they think they see. This is
why I stated that truth is fantasy the other day. In truth, we are lucky
anyone agrees at all.
