I noticed in George's observation of the winning slide in Detroit
last Wednesday that he said it had too much depth, when I thought
the depth was just right, I being very left eye dominant (and right handed).
I think that George might have a very good point about the varying
degrees of stereo acuity based on level of eye domination tendencies.
Or maybe I watch too much ER, which by the way has many good
pulfrich opportunities.
