You are saying that the ideal amount, therefore, is a 2D slide?  :-)

Should one "optimize" for the projectionist (at home, I'm "it" so
that might not be a bad idea) rather than, say, the ortho-seat or
maybe some compromise position?

In other words, how should one handle the problem of ortho-seat vs 
projectionist-seat when one's slide is to be projected, and what does
one do when one wants to use the slide in a hand-viewer as well?  I 
ask in a mathematical sense.  If 1.2mm on-film deviation max is a 
starting point, what is the *ideal* on-film deviation that is
optimal, and what is the on-film deviation variation that is
equivalent to the different projection seats (so one knows how to
optimize for the different seats)?
