A mini-epiphany

Huh. The other day I was in the fandom_secrets comment thread on faceblindness and sharing my experiences from the exciting world of prosopagnosia. I was thinking back to the time I didn't realize two girls I was talking to were not only related to each other, but in fact identical twins. I wonder now if my partial faceblindness may not be the reason why "Clint Barton is William Brandt" and similar tropes don't work for me. Because I rely only partly on faces to recognize people, and more on things like hairdo, voice and body language. And Renner changes his body language from character to character so maybe that's what throws me off.
