Conflicting shape percepts explained by perception cognition distinction

Abstract

Morales et al. show that a front-facing ellipse is more quickly identified amongst front-facing circles than rotated circles, leading them to conclude that vision has a dual character: a rotated circle is perceived both as a perspectival 2D ellipse and as a 3D circle. We have two concerns. First, are they testing perceived shape? Second, is this a failure of depth constancy?
