> Saccadic eye movement allows the mind to read quickly, but it comes with its disadvantages. It can cause the mind to skip over words because it doesn't see them as important to the sentence, and the mind completely leaves it from the sentence or it replaces it with the wrong word. This can be seen in 'Paris in the the Spring'. This is a common psychological test, where the mind will often skip the second 'the', especially when there is a line break in between the two.
Well, looks like I just failed the test, even though I made a genuine effort to read the paragraph very carefully after the the second sentence.
