<p>?? why the nastiness?<p>I'm not moving goalposts. My 2nd comment just adds detail, which i hoped the reader would manage to infer based on my 1st one. That's all.<p>My point is it's like saying a car is more inefficient than a bicycle because it uses (more) fuel... totally ignoring that it also gets you much further and that too much faster.<p>Whereas a valid, to me, criticism would be that a particular car is less efficient than another car bc it burns more gas, when both do about as good a job.</p>

<p>You cannot ignore the tradeoffs and the output produced:<p>> Though we normally can’t perceive them, these vessels always occlude a portion of what we see, and for an important reason.<p>Efficiency is input / output, not just input.<p>15x input / 15x output is just as efficient as 1x input / 1x output.</p>

<p>Great article but I don't get their insistent on "inefficiency":<p>They start out saying oxygen vessels partially and subtly occludes vision.<p>So the bird's eye doesn't suffer from this disadvantage.<p>In other words: It uses 15x more energy but presumably also sees 15x sharper and more into the distance than our human eye.<p>Sounds proportional at most, but certainly not inefficient for the bird's purposes?</p>
