In my writing I have noticed that I can prof read and re-read and will not find any errors but if I change the background of what I'm reading on, the error becomes evident.
It's like your mind is auto completing, tricking, cloaking the errors.
There may be a name for this occurrence. It seems similar to those images with a black dot in the middle where if you stare at it long enough a secret image will show or when two colors are next to each other they look like the complete opposite but when apart they're only different shades of the same color.
This also happens in programming. You may be looking at a bug right in the face but you cannot find it unless you take a break or change the environment.
