If there is insufficient or conflicting information, or the information is meaningless noise, the brain is going to find a pattern anyway. Once this pattern or interpretation, has emerged, the brain is slow to change it even when faced with conflicting evidence. This is why displays of information in confusing environments should always be subjected to multiple rounds of analysis. If, as David G said, there was a failure rate of 92% rate of persons with the qualifications of "pilot", it might be productive to carefully look at the varying the design elements of the display and analysing how each element impacts the brains tendancy to come up with the "wrong" interpretation. Commen sense solutions do not always work as well as they should.
