Some brains. Not all brains. Typos jump out at me even when I'm not actively trying to read. It's not uncommon for me to point out a misspelling on a sign I'm casually passing by.

I understand and agree most people miss such details; that's why editors are so important. I just think it should be noted that not every human brain works the same way. Some are more detail-oriented that others, some lock in to certain patterns more than others, and what can be a challenge for one person could be a breeze for another.

Please don't discount the neurodivergent when attempting to define "the human condition."

Same for me. I was speaking generally, of course. Please don't try and needlessly frame me as exclusionary :)
