Maybe it depends on how thick the peelings are? I use a speed peeler
which peels the skin off as thin as a fine sheet of paper. People who
peel using a knife are more likely to cut thicker peelings with more
chance of intact 'eyes' on them.

Yes, that is probably it. I tend to use a knife as I don't mind eating the
peel, but the bits I take off will be chunks with eyes.
