I'm not immune to visual stimuli, I just don't SEE bookcovers (especially not before I buy them). Because I don't want to.

This in a nut shell.
Not ALL people are susceptible to visual stuff. I am like you. I don't particularly notice covers. I also don't get the why some people have a hard time with what others do or don't do.
If one judges by looks, more power to them.
If one doesn't judge by looks, more power to them.
What one does usually doesn't affect the other.
Except maybe in the case of senior discounts. If one thinks my gray hair makes me 55 or 60, I won't embarrass the one by correcting. I will just smile and say thank you.
