Punched wall

Recently a wall in the apartment got punched at by a bed end which was on its way to another floor. How the bed came down that little T- corner is a mystery. After the fiasco, complaint followed. Few days later, I wanted to check if it was fixed. I pass everyday by the stairs atleast six times a day. It took me two weeks to consciously look out and see if it was fixed. Anyways, in the last two weeks it didnt seem like the wall had the damage. It seemed like a simple everyday human genius to be able to detect things if they are fixed or not even without looking at them.
