So is this like a type of buffering? Saving brain RAM?
Brain interpolating the parts of the image missing due to blood vessels, etc over the retina I think
This has nothing to do with blind spot. The blind spot is only a thing if you close one eye. Furthermore you only have one blind spot so it would only hide one dot and it would only work at a certain distance from your eye to the screen.
The real reason here is just that the dots blend in with the grey lines when you don't focus on them.
