    No shit. Smaller objects are harder to see. Objects that blend in with dark backgrounds are harder to see.

    This isn’t rocket science.

      And children and dark-skinned people are not just “objects.” It’s not “rocket science,” it’s something they need to take extra care in programming to avoid, then.

        To a computer, thats all anyone is. An object. Stop acting so offended, this is basic shit.

        And no amount of programming will make smaller objects as easy to spot as larger objects. Same with low contrast objects.
