“Shed make a good liberal; they only have 1/2 of a brain.” She would not make a good liberal, She has half a WORKING brain.

"Didnt the esteemed neurosurgeon Ben Carson prove this was possible years ago?"
Yes he did.
He was head of neurosurgery at John Hopkins, but a few years back was diagnosed with prostrate cancer - so I am not sure if he still heads that unit or not.
He has performed many remarkable surgeries.
I have read two of his books, and I heavily recommend Gifted Hands.
His early years were troubled, but his mother had him read a book a week and write a book report on it.
Now he is truly a gifted neurosurgeon - by anyone's standards.
You won't hear much about him, though:
He is evangelical.
He prays often, and before each surgery.
He does not believe in evolution at all.
He received the Presidential Medal of Freedom via President George W. Bush.
If you get the chance you should read the fella's bio.
It is simply amazing, and an inspiration.

That can’t be right. That’s 1/2 more than most liberals have.

You're right about the triangle part, but I think the sentence you're referring to (a confusing sentence, granted) is highlighting the significance of what comes in the next paragraph: the activity of the human cerebral cortex in making "continuous topographic maps" which enable the viewer to combine information received
at different times to make coherent sense of visual input.
In other words, she is not seeing from two angles simultaneouly; but different views seen sequentially (through the same eye) can be combined by the brain into a "topographic map" which enables to viewer to comprehend the visual data three-dimensionally.

Exactly. That’s basically what I did for 40 years (and what horses do all the time).
