Yes, but one with depth!  I am very concerned when my wife, or other
people, cannot see a significant difference between a picture that has
depth and the same picture without depth, when it is painfully clear to me
that the second picture is flat like a pancake!  

But that's a different story and you make good points regarding retinal
rivalry which is what is going on with my demo slide... I still wonder why
some people fall in love with 3d while others could not care less... From
the reports pouring it, dominant eye does is not an important factor.  
Then, what is it?  Something that can be, somehow, measured???
