Les superphysionomistes, eux, n'oublient jamais un visage rencontré ne fût-ce qu'une fois. Ils reconnaissent une personne des années plus tard, même après l'avoir vue seulement une ou deux fois très brièvement. [...] Ces superphysionomistes semblent avoir le don de traiter les visages inconnus avec la même efficacité que la plupart des gens avec leurs proches. Par ailleurs, ces surdoués des visages sont souvent en mesure de reconnaître quelqu'un à partir de quelques fragments d'images.
