The  "problem" is that the audience has been taught to expect the 
exagerated 3D effect when they hear the word(s) "3D".  They have
been so trained.

That training is the "problem".  Their "expectations" are distorted.

What ABC did wasn't really unexpected because they fulfilled expectations.
Didn't all of us really expect to see what we did?  I know I did.
That results in the follow-on problem of "who wants to pay to change
the audience's expectations?".

No easy answers (other than "it's not ABC").  It's a catch-22.  Can't
do a "proper" 3D show because it won't meet expectations of "3D". But 
can't correct expectations until a "proper" show is done.

Bummer city.  Maybe 3D Imax's in every major city for training porpises?
