How it's used

Beyond the literal physical sense of a blind spot in vision or driving, this term is frequently used metaphorically to describe a gap in someone's logic or a flaw in a plan that they are unable to perceive. It implies a lack of awareness rather than a simple mistake or oversight. When used in a professional or academic context, it suggests that the person is too close to the subject to see the obvious errors.
