Er, perhaps my post was misleading. I didn't mean to implicate that having eyes equals the ability to determine that less items are available. I should have said something like "new study indicates that fish swim."
While studies examining common assumptions can be illuminatory and useful - especially when they prove those assumptions wrong, or discover that there's more to them than common knowledge, this strikes me as one of those "duh, of course" and/or "you spent how much to figure THAT out?" moments.
