Good one!

In nature it is rare to have perfect information - an animal that can correctly distinguish a predator from the background has a big survival advantage. Therefore handling incomplete or corrupted data (eg a cougar partially hidden behind a rock) became a necessity. This is why human brains can do general pattern recognition far better than current AI systems.
