P3D eidetic and Prufritch?

[wier@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx (Bob Wier)]

I got to thinking since there are a number of knowledgable people on the
list regarding such things, I'd pose the following... Has prufritch been adequately explained? I believe that the slowing of light thru the darker lens is not significant enough to account for the stereo effect.

I wonder if at least part of the mechanism might be in the latent eidetic
image processing capabilities of most adults. Could it be that the darker lens
improves (or perhaps degrades?) the eidetic memory coming from that eye, 
causing a "projection" of one image onto the other producing the stereo
effect? Since this article mentioned that many if not most children 
posses eidetic memory, it could follow that most adults have latent
capabilities in that direction. Also it would be interesting if the period
of eidetic memory in children might be coincident with that time that
language acquisition skills are high, which I believe also tends to
diminish later in life once the brain gets more "hard coded". (Or,
despite 6 semesters of Espanol in college, I really can't say that
I can speak it...) And then, of course, there is dyslexia, which in severe
cases (I have it mildly) appears to cause the image of letters/words on a printed page to actually move about, making reading very difficult.

Hmmmm...
