The thing is, he was claiming that we sort of figured this out in the process of trying to design artificial vision systems. ie, it wasn't so much a "here's a contrived after the fact explanation" as much as "later on, when we tried to figure out what sorts of design criteria, etc etc would be involved in vision systems, suddenly this made a bit more sense."

Again, I have no references on this, but it does seem plausible.
