Yes. A brain damaged blind man walked past obstacles without seeing what to avoid. https://www.newscientist.com/article/dn16324-blind-man-sees-his-way-past-obstacles/ https://www.newscientist.com/article/dn16324-blind-man-sees-... https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2747232/ https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2747232/ Since the eye is signaling and he his brain is also healthy, he may have more cues that are not visual. Object avoidance and facial recognition might not be visual according to n=1. Kwon and related researchers have confirmed that the brain can rewire to brain to use more primative means of visualizing, so her saying never say never may be to temper expectations to the layman. I'd be very surprised if she didn't know of this research.
