the way I look at is like I always tell my wife (I'm inattentive too) - you can't assume I'm always going to figure out 1 + 1 = 2.

She'll always say to me about one thing or another "you knew that!" and I'll be like "no I didn't!"

so she'll be like "well you knew X, and you knew Y, so you must've known Z!"

and once she lays it out for me, then I'll see Z was obvious. but my mind just didn't connect X + Y = Z.

that's linear thinking - connecting all the dots.

here's an example. she'll tell me she's working next Tuesday night. But we'll already have plans to go to the movies on Tuesday night. I'll know she's working Tuesday night, but I won't actually make the connection that that means we can't go to the movies that night like we were supposed to.

that's a simplistic example, but it happens :(

we don't draw the lines to connect all the dots, even though we might have all the dots and see all the dots, we don't draw the line to connect them.
