Here's my quote for the ages: Functionally organized visual cortex is a concept of post-Ford construction, and it is unlikely to arise in a biological system.
I don't have any evidence for my claim. The only thing I can indicate (and this sort of thing never proves anything) is a lack of evidence for a functionally organized visual cortex.

the hell is post ford construction
Um, WTF?
Right, like Henry Ford. I'm thinking that people imagine the visual cortex like a production line, but that metaphor seems more likely to hinder research than help it, given that the evidence shows the metaphor to fit rather poorly.
