Your blind spot is where you *seem* to be seeing the physical world (if
you were asked you might say "Blind spot, blind spot, we ain't got no
steenkin' blind spot!") - but you aren't really seeing anything at all 'there'
, as you can attest if you do the relevant experiment. BTW, there is
external input to the blind spot, surely? It's just that there are no
receptors (?) to pick it up at that point.
