True, but our heads do have ears, and in our ears is a fluid that gives us equilibrium. That's how we know which way is down. Basically, when you're actually looking at something physically right in front of you, even though your head is tilted, your brain still knows which way is which. When you're looking at a slanted picture, your brain FEELS that down is one way but SEES that it's another. Thus, the reason we tilt our heads when we see a slanted picture. It's very distracting.
