At the end of the day the metric of success for these doctors is to find cancer, not impossible images of gorillas.
The study is kinda “funny”, but it doesn’t really mean anything. Even the article itself does not claim that this is some kind of failure
The point is, an image of a gorilla is literally completely impossible and has no relevance. That’s why a security vuln is not analogous
There's a risk to "rule out pneumonia" style guidance resulting in a report that misses these things in favor of "yep, it's pneumonia".

> For over 50 years, the satisfaction of search effect has been studied within the field of radiology. Defined as a decrease in detection rates for a subsequent target when an initial target is found within the image, these multiple target errors are known to underlie errors of omission (e.g., a radiologist is more likely to miss an abnormality if another abnormality is identified). More recently, they have also been found to underlie lab-based search errors in cognitive science experiments (e.g., an observer is more likely to miss a target ‘T’ if a different target ‘T’ was detected). This phenomenon was renamed the subsequent search miss (SSM) effect in cognitive science.
