This is an example of there being no parity between what visual cues we can contemplate and process, and what visual cues our eyes provide.

Ok so we're clear that we're comparing the components within an organism. We're not making cross-species comparisons.

Now, and hopefully this doesn't instigate another rabbit hole rant, but I'm going to ask you for evidence. The reason being, is that it seems difficult to measure how much visual information the brain can handle, without a way to present that visual information to the brain. At least not through the eyes since your claim is that they are insufficient to present it.

Maybe I lack the creativity to come up with a way to make such a measurement, so please show me how it was done.

Oh, FFS. 

Please explain why it might be that we know species that loose eyes? Can you explain that? After all, you are the person claiming that it can't be possible.  You are the one claiming that evolution must be ever upward towards some ethereal goal. Just you alone. So kindly explain why it is that evolution has removed eyes for certain creatures? They had eyes millions of years ago and now they don't.  Why? Can you explain that in your terms? Of course not.
