Of COURSE it's an illusion - no one is for one moment claiming that there is some sort of magic involved causing the shoe to change from black to white and back again.
But WHY is it illusory? Might not a better understand of why this happens lead to help for people with vision or learning disabilities? If there's something is our brains causing this difference in perception, isn't that something worth knowing?

There is a way to create curiosity and a way not to. Pop media is simply out for a buck. My explanation to you as to why illusions like this work is what is important, not that someone wants to sell a controversy just to see it.
This story isn't a "Here is how science works". It is more like P.T. Barnum, "There's a sucker born every minute.'
