you have a point. If you asked a man to look at a white house in the distance and asked him the colour, he might reply "white", whereas the accurate answer is "white on this side facing me" since you don't have knowledge of the colour of the rest of the walls. So that is a kind of selective blindness, assuming you 'see' something that isn't possible. Also, take the statements of witnesses to the same event - any policeman will tell you that if ten people witness the same event, he will receive ten different versions all with slightly different details - everyone does see things differently!
Nice question you asked!

each of our perscption / our memories / our understandings, are what we have filtered through our belieifs etc. Therefore to talk in terms of reality
we must come to some sort of objective study and communication - its called science.

what you see is real ... religion mystifies everything for you ... selective clarity is better but you cant use what you dont have anybody can chose not to see but that doesnt mean its not there.
