That's certainly a possibility. On the other hand, it's been pointed out
recently on P3D that some aspects of 3D viewing appear to be learned (or
enhanced over time through a learning process). If we "frequent 3D'ers"
spent a lot of time viewing the highly exaggerated 3D, is it possible that
we'd start liking it more than we do now? :-)
