The double negative is irritating

I find "human eyes" more irritating. Why not "vertebrate eyes?" Even mollusks like scallops and cephalopods have lensed simple (non-compound) eyes. Saying they are like human eyes is nonsense.

Really? I’ve heard not unlike used all the Damn time. Pretty easy to grasp by now.

Nothing wrong with not unlike. It means they aren't exactly the same, but there are a few similarities. Not unlike is a far easier way of saying ' that share some similarities to'

Is "forehead" even a technical term for arthropods?? I hate this title
