    Hypothetically, what would be the advantages of “correcting” this evolutionary mistake in humans?

      No blind spot and better light detection. The light having to pass through the nerves causes a lot to be lost.

      I believe no blind spot, which is the place where all the nerves bundle together and pass through the sensing layer, leaving a hole in our vision (the brain works hard to hide this hole from our perception, but it’s still there and can cause accidents) Also maybe better vision in general?
