“The most liberal estimate is that people can process consciously only about 40 pieces of information per second. At any given moment, our five senses take in 11,000,000 pieces of information per second.” (Wilson, Strangers to Ourselves, 2002).

So, the odds are, at any given moment, we are more likely than not to be missing important data about ourselves. This is one reason why creating ongoing feedback loops in the moment is so important.
