Silly question

This is no doubt a silly questions, but can someone explain to me in layman's terms, if possible, why in reflector type telescopes the image doesn't end up with a black spot where the secondary mirror is blocking the light path.

Is it the same reason why you can't see blemishes on a camera lens unless you focus too it?
