Eli had learned long ago that you can stare right at something and not see what lies beneath the surface.
Eli has come to understand that observation does not always lead to comprehension. It's possible to look directly at something and completely miss the deeper truths that are hidden from view. This insight reflects the complexities of perception and how reality can be layered, often requiring more than just a glance to truly grasp its essence.
