I think the point was that the guy really was a surgeon, but in the mind of the patient, he appeared very different. In this analogy, the misperceptions of the patient does not affect the ability of the surgeon to operate successfully. Debbie brings up a point worthy of consideration. Our understanding of Christ develops as our relationship with him develops. The apostles he called did not immediately know him well, but as their relationship with him developed, so did their understanding of exactly who he was. They all doubted aspects of who he was right up to the resurrection. None of their short comings in understanding hindered Christ from operating in their lives. Eventually their understanding and thinking about him came in line together. I think we all go through a similar process of intellectual growth and development. Peace be with you.
