I think what you meant to say is you have excellent eye sight and with a broad spectrum light source you can easily detect flaws in paint and clearcoat.

Broad band gives you the majority of wavelengths to reflect or refract. Narrow band will help eliminate reflections and refractions of items of no interest (eg non-flaws) and help highlight flaws. That's why multiple various light sources are helpful.
I cannot even begin to explain how I can do it, I just know that when I fix my paint, you won't find a scratch in no matter what light source you use. If I needed a different light source for different scratches, then my paint wouldn't look flawless no matter where it was looked at. At night under the bright supermarket parking lamps, under the blazing hot sun, in my garage under the natural incandescent bulb lighting or halogen lighting, I can see every scratch. Add to that the power of my camera flash and when I claim it's flawless, you can take that to the bank.
