How optimum the solution is is related to how important and conserved the system is. The visual system is very old, and it has unquestionably been subject to intense selective pressure.

I guess the important question is whether these illusions are arbitrary and reflect arbitrary choices by evolution, or if they are fundamentally hard and would be hard for any hypothetical vision system. My hunch is that they are fundamentally hard.
