Wilbur and Orville saw the same and designed the Flyer with anhedral. They quickly changed theirs minds to simply no dihedral, though time would show that humans need the stability of dihedral, especially at low speed and near the ground.
We humans just don't have that innate sense for instantaneous situational awareness down yet.
