>Here's a fucking hint, it's called "eagle eye," not "squid eye" retards.
Cool anecdotal evidence bro! Did you know Cepalophods have dual accommodation just like eagles?
>The octopus eye has the photoreceptors in the wrong spot, and that's a fucking fact.
What spot, what's wrong about it? They don't have to have a good spot, because their whole eye is good.
>The way octo-eyes are laid out makes it impossible to get a strong bloodflow into the photoreceptors.
Soure? Maybe they don't need a strong blood flow, because are better than vertebrate eyes?
>The reason eagles have such great vision in the first place is because they have a big honkin chunk of vasculature in the middle of their eye (yes, in front of the receptors).
Maybe they need strong bloodflow, because nerves and veins make it harder to detect light in the first place?
>Then you have the fact that Muller cells actually process the light before it even gets to the receptors.
I'm reading now about them and could find only that they insulate receptors electrically, not "process".
How do you know it's so superior compared to Cephalopoda eyes, not just a poor design with improvements on top of it?
>All that fucking nervous tissue in front of the receptors is actually IMPROVING acuity for zero cost.
Is it? What if Muller cells are needed, because layers of neurons on top of receptors create noise?
>Your brain is more than smart enough to cancel out the blind spot. And even in cases where it is not (you lose an eye, for instance), you don't fucking use that part anyway.
Isn't it called a bad design, if someone has to do your job, because you suck at doing it? The brain is superior, because it works with so shitty eyes.

>But octopuses are blind fucking retards, while vertebrates are eagle eyed megachads.
This is your superior vertebrate vision without noise cancelling.
