Technically, we're not lacking in attention capacity, we're lacking in the ability to focus that attention towards the thing you want/should. Our attention is great. We're just not giving it to the right thing in many cases.

You didn't remember where you put your keys, cause your attention was taken by something else when you dropped them wherever they were. But you had plenty of attention towards that other thing.

Yeah, ADHD is really more about attention regulation, not attention deficit.
