It is a little concerning thinking that there could be up to a 15 second lag that your brain just accounts for despite everything feeling "instant".
I mean, it's really saying that we "smooth over" the blurry spots where we move our eyes around but still. That means you are basically just "missing" small parts of visual input all of the time every time you move your eyes or focus sufficiently.
This has been well known for a long time though so there is that.

>Open the camera app on your phone and start recording a video. Place the screen right in front of your eyes and try to use the live footage as a viewfinder. Tricky, right? The shapes, colors, and motion in the video are jarring. Scientists say this exercise is a close approximation of the messy visual data that our eyes constantly bombard our brain with. So how exactly do we see without feeling dizzy or nauseated?
