Yes. Always. Do you remember “Greystoke”, the movie where Christopher Lambert played Tarzan? Well, that one was so famous for the realistic gorilla costumes, but I thought they were pathetic.

PS: I forgot to mention this fascinating video It demonstrates a famous example for “Inattentional Blindness” – people so focused on what they do, that no one actually SEES the gorilla as it passes right through the group.
