      Turning a blind eye to the well-established role of stimulus structure in all aspects (including thresholds, salience, etc) of perception is a good method for proliferating either reliably falsifiable generalisations or generalisations that can't be challenged because they're so vague.

      In other words a. results are contingent on the stimulus and a different stimulus could well lead to different results, and b. words like "weak target" "highly visible stimuli" describe the percept not the stimulus, and so avoid specifying conditions in physical terms.

      Anyway, what is interesting about "perisaccadic compression"?
