stillanerdThe scene in question is from Amazing Spider-Man #649, written by Dan Slott, and it goes as follows: Peter Parker's new girlfriend, Carlie Cooper, shows up at his high class hotel room (which he can now afford thanks to his advance paycheck from Horizon Labs) and they decide to watch a movie together. What transpires next is the following:
Now, this all seems well and good (not to mention it at least attempts to try a unique angle on Peter atypical romantic problems) but wasn't there something which Dan Slott established way back in Amazing Spider-Man #591 regarding Peter's secret identity? Oh yeah:
So, in light of issue #591 in which Slott himself set-up the rules for how the "psychic blindspot" worked, and putting this into the context of issue #649 which he also wrote, I have to ask:
1. If Peter still has this psychic blindspot, then why should he have to worry about Carlie possibly deducing that he's really Spider-Man, considering that, by it's very nature, she'd come up with an excuse on her own? or
2. If Peter no longer has the psychic blindspot anymore, what happened to it?

Looks like another dreaded sighting of THE PLOT HOLE!
