We don't know whether the added variable is helpful or harmful. All we know is that adding the visual changes the result.

Here's a true anecdote from my college days:

There was a life size sculpture of a human male figure in the area where I used to walk my Malamute. My dog would bark and growl at the sculpture, thinking that it was a threat. Though I never tried it, I'm sure that my dog would not have barked had he been blindfolded. Was he a better watch dog without the blindfold?
