Everyone's eyes are different. I'm sure there's a blind spot that's supposed to be where they say it is, but who's to say your eyes are exactly like the average eye?
The blind spot is where the nerves pass through the retina to reach your optic nerve. I was mistaken; because the image is flipped when it passes through the lens, the nose side has the blind spot but visually the hole is on the temple side, as is shown here
Neat!
