because humans are quite diverse

We don't know which percentage of blind people can distinguish objects by sight once they start to see. We don't know if it's all-or-nothing or not.
If half of blinds can, there's still a 3% chance to get the published results from five subjects. If it's 30%, the chances grow to 17%.
