The roles of the sense organs have been studied in only a few species, principally sharks, and consequently remain imperfectly understood.

Usually, however, these consequences are hidden, unintended, and imperfectly understood.
Mental life was something we knew very little about, and when something was imperfectly understood it was quite likely that we would define its structure imperfectly, too.
