Worked for me. Couldn’t it be something about the framing of the legs leading to a different processing of perspective?
When I was learning to draw, one technique to help spot errors is to flip the drawing upside down. This made misaligned features, bad proportions, weird perspective issues immediately jump out. Maybe it's the same effect.

#42The demonstration was: molars and canines have to have contact, if they don't the vestibular system is out of tilt, put a piece of plastic between them, hip flexors relax, hips get their mobility back, back pain goes away.
Tried it... worked!

#43recently learned about postural restauration. seemingly the teeth and the hip-flexors are connected via the vestibular system. Which means, you can do all the excercises, chirpractics, yoga and so on, and still suffer back pain, because the hips don't relax.

#44It would be interesting to repeat the study using American Football centers. They spend a significant portion of the game looking back between their legs, and in addition need to be able to judge accurately to hike the ball so the quarterback gets it correctly, especially when he is in the shotgun position.

I think you need to try outside so the distances are greater. Or it’s all a practical joke and you have to do it outside so people will laugh.
There is most likely something to this. A dramatic example I've seen is where you take a picture of a head, and invert the mouth and view the picture upside down (so the head is pointing down, but the mouth is still right side up). It looks slightly off, but no more than any other picture that has been altered. Now flip the picture back around right side up (mouth upside down) and if you aren't expecting it then it w…

Reminds me of the copypasta that’s says the “uncanny valley” indicates that in some time during our evolution we had good reason to identify something that looked human but wasn’t .

From Latin, meaning the lack of something.
Made me dream up the (it turns out) false etymology of "ignite" deriving from ig-, lack of, and nite, nonstandard spelling variant of night, combining to mean "remove darkness."

When you lost a tooth or had a correction in your youth, they might not fit correctly.
