You deeply overestimate people.

The models are like a kindergartner. No, worse than that, a whole classroom of kindergartners.

The teacher holds up a picture and says, "and how many legs does the dog have?" and they all shout "FOUR!!" because they are so excited they know the answer. Not a single one will think to look carefully at the picture.

It's hilarious how off you are.

Exactly this. Humans are primed for novelty and being quizzed about things.

You have never seen the video of the gorilla in the background?

That's a specific example that when you draw a human's attention to something (eg: count the number of ball passes in this video), they hyper-fixate on that, to the exclusion of other things, so it seems like it makes the opposite point that I think you're trying to?
