It's interesting how different people perceive things. I think the term 'target fixation' is a good one. I never heard it before but it perfectly describes the problem: we go where we look. I am always looking for the clear, safe path. Others fixate on the obstacles and I believe have a more difficult time avoiding them as a result. There have been rides where one guy would say "That was a huge rock in the road!" and I wouldn't even remember it because I was looking at the safe route around it.
