You mean that they suffer attention anosmia as well?
See this thread for attention blindness...

I would also add that sounders apparently feel much more secure or preoccupied when operating as a larger group. I have come across a couple that did move away from me, but really didn't change their browsing behavior or speed, just direction after individuals stopped, saw me, and then continued in a different direction. One group had an individual challenge me with a faux charge and stayed between the group and me, but the group operated as if oblivious to my presence.
