Excellent answer! George.  But there is a dilemma of sorts in the
implications.

In a "competition of stereo slides," shouldn't the entries be viewed by
whatever method is most appropriate for that entry? - That's the next
question.

I suspect most competitors have hand viewers at home rather than
projectors for scanning which slides to select for competition.  I would
think that gives projector owners a decided advantage in club
competitions.  If it's the slides themselves that are being contested,
perhaps there should be two categories:  "projection slides" and "viewer
slides."  I KNOW, I KNOW... I'm being a nit picker.  I just like to see
an even playing field. :-)  Not really possible. :-(

This is very much related to "knowing the judge."  In this case the
projector has the extraneous influence on the outcome.  IMO
