How do you know Larry?  Have you even experienced lack of stereopsis
with both your healthy eyes wide open?  Why do you equate stereopsis 
with attention?

Entertained?  Don't tell me that you were driving with Pulfrich 
glasses on as I did while driving to Detroit with Jim Motley and Paul 
Talbot... Talking about lack of attention and potential for disaster!

PS. Kids, don't drink and drive, don't freeview and drive, don't 
drive and take stereo pictures, and don't drive with Pulfrich 
glasses on!  :-)
