Take Bridget Riley - we are so used to how mechanical painting (that is, 'printing') makes getting such even cover, and straight lines trivial that doing it by hand seems no more impressive.
And it never even crosses your mind, because you're too busy looking at the image.
You have special nerves that link multiple receptors in your eyes, specifically to recognize lines. There are more in the vertical than horizontal, so you can more readily see vertical lines ("Watch out for that tree!").
Repetition is deeply integral to our visual experience.
