Pathology aside, I'd expect that the differences would involve encoding
algorithms and neural processing... and possibly each infant brain must
create its own version. Perhaps a visual analogy of "perfect pitch"
exists (if indeed "perfect pitch" arises when a particular infant brain
discovers an improved algorithm.) Some of us end up with the better
stuff, while others make do with a solution which is merely good. If we
were purely genetic robots, then all eyes and brains might be identical.
