I'm reminded of how chess masters can be shown a complex chess
position for a fraction of a second, and remember it exactly. Not
because they have fantastic memorization techniques, but because they
UNDERSTAND chess so well. Or how most of us can spot complex emotions
on a face immediately. That one's mostly instinctual, but it shows
the visual/cognitive processing power we have and can tap into.
I don't see any reason why people couldn't, with a lot of talent and
years of dedicated practice, do the same thing with a 3x3x3. It
doesn't hold more information than a face or a chess position.
People have only begun to scratch the surface of what's possible to
do in blindfold cubing.
