Very very true. Sigh.....  :-)

I think the image *has* to be technically adequate in order
to be aesthetically good.  And to me, being aesthetically
good is the point of having the image, so if one thinks 
an image aesethtically good, then the judging need
go no further -- the end goal has been reached.  The
opponent's King chess piece has been captured.

In other words, if an image "looks great" where there is a 
disabling technical problem, I think that one really is 
thinking that an image has great potential if something is 
fixed because the stereo image currently is terrible aesthetically due
to the technical error.
