Yep. There are all kinds of biases and tricks that our consciousness does to us. Look at this video for instance and see if you see through it. Don't tell people about he solution, just tell us if you caught it or not...

Having 1 or 2 perception more than another person matters, if you are in the right section of the bell curve. The difference is largest in the middle, so if you target the TDM's to hit that sweet spot you will see a difference.
