It is interesting in its own right—though I am using it to illustrate how our fallible observations and intuitions concerning language and life experiences can blind us when interpreting an ancient text.

Why would you find it annoying and not fascinating?
That’s part of the illusion - you think you are annoyed but really you are fascinated! 
I do find it fascinating, but I think I also see it as an insurmountable shortcoming, and I guess I take that pretty personally! Curse you, primate brain! Hmmm… I wonder if there’s a way to test this on other animals.
I can see the rotation in the OP.
A similar themed illusion I can’t get my head around is this one; it is supposed the higher order brain processing makes one unable to see past the illusion
