Another example: ears are excellent at breaking down the frequency of sounds, but are imprecise about where the sound is coming from; whereas eyes are excellent at telling you where light is coming from, but imprecise about how its frequencies break down.

that's mostly due to light waves being FAR shorter and many orders of magnitude more "sensors"

Ears are essentially 2 "pixels" of sound sensing; and for that limitation they are ABSOLUTELY AMAZING at pointing out the sound source.
