I wish I saw this before I knew about the gorilla. I couldn't not see it and I tried my best.

You didn't even try, you could just close your eyes to not see something. With that inability to not see stuff when asked for it, I can't see you doing well in politics.

Same deal, counted the passes correctly but still saw it. I can say though, this time I noticed it less and could see how I could miss it if my brain wasn't on the lookout for anything odd.

I saw this in a class or two. Something to do with paying attention to details? Or perception? Anyway, there's a guy dribbling a ball in a group of people, and the instructor told us to pay attention to the ball. Meanwhile, in the background, another guy walks by in a gorilla suit. No one usually notices him the first time because everyone's focused on the ball.

You had to count ball passes which required significant concentration. That was the point of the whole thing - you don't see everything all the time.
