Why doesn't it make sense? Seriously, it was so widely accepted by literally MILLIONS of people because it DOES make sense: clearly my hands are MUCH more dexterous and sensitive than my elbows, my mouth and lips more sensitive than my forehead and having more dedicated brain connections and brain matter explains this nicely.
I first saw this image years ago in Psych 101, and many times since, and not ONCE did it occur to me that this "doesn't make sense".
