Already does. Persistence of vision. It’s why some seconds seem longer when you look at a clock suddenly. Your brain fills in the missing “frames” with what it thinks should be there.

You can see your nose at all times, as it is within your field of vision at all times - but your brain filters it out, so what you actually “see” is a nose-free impression of your surroundings. It works like a movie editor that removes unwanted parts from raw fotage before the movie is actually shown to the public.
If blinking were a total blackout for a fraction of a second, I’d wager the human brain would have developed a workaround to delete that as well, so you wouldn’t even notice a difference.

I was gifted a big fat bulbous beak from my parents, it’s half my vision!

Same. No matter how fast I turn my head, it always seems to move faster!

I've got a narrow nose, and I still notice it all the time.
