You can never actually lose a homing pigeon - if your homing pigeon does not return, what you've lost is a pigeon

The human brain does a lot of "guess-timating" and this proves it.

On first look, the plates that can be seen as upside down wrong-side-up are most obvious/numerous, so the brain "fills in the blanks" with each new plate that is examined.

Once the plate/plates that can only be seen as upright is examined, the brain fills in the blanks with the latest data, so you see them all rightside-up.

PS. This post is an unscientific explanation because I don't know all the correct terms which a person who has studied this type of stuff would use in making an explanation.
If Jeff Hostetler could do it, Daniel Jones can do it !!!

That's a pretty good explanation if you ask me! It has to have something to do with how the brain works
