I may be belabouring the point, but this IS the point...

The eyes are NOT in focus wherever they look - they RE-FOCUS and
re-converge every time we look at something else.  They take in
a DIFFERENT pair of images.

The "eye enviornment" would be more natural if, everytime we looked
at a different place in the "stereo pair" image, the two chips would
be adjusted in the frame to eliminate the un-natural eye gymnastics
we need to do.

The point being:

Every time we move our eyes, we in essence, take a different picture.
We create a different "stereo pair."

But with photography we are forced to re-interpret a portion of
a single stereo pair as though it were several different pictures.

No need to explode here   ;-)
