Blind Beetle

When a blind beetle crawls over the surface of a curved branch, it doesn't notice that the track it has covered is indeed curved. I was lucky enough to notice what the beetle didn't notice. - Albert Einstein



Was he lucky to see or did he have the ability to view better? I think he had the ability to throw out what was intuitively obvious and look at what was really going on. Intuition has it's limitations because it is based on incomplete information.
