why can't some people read what is in front of them?
"To demonstrate this, Hobson devised an experiment that could almost have been inspired by a remark of Wittgenstein. Wittgenstein noticed that it is very hard to detect the expression of a face drawn upside down, even if it is accurate in all its physical details. Expression, in other words, is not simply a summation of physical details; it is a total "Gestalt". Hobson asked two groups of children, one autistic and one non-autistic, to sort upside-down faces according to their expression. The autistic group performed much better. This is because, Hobson concludes, "the 'emotions' were no longer recognisable as emotions when the faces were presented upside down"

u really need to read the article.
theres a saying don't look for malice when stupidity will suffice as an explanation. in neutral terms lack of theories of mind proably covers it better, but
women and truth are not necessarily partners to put it mildly.
