And I am glad it does not!  I have not heard of a more ridiculous
idea in my life!

"Focus screwed-up" you mean?  One eye in focus and the other out
of focus is not my idea of "focus free" in stereo.  That's my
opinion.  Others might disagree.

I have seen a few pictures from the Stereo Graphic and most
had soft focus and haze from internal reflections (due to lack 
of coating?)  If this is your first camera or if you are font
of soft/contrastless pictures or you enjoy sharpness-induced 
retinal rivalry then this might be your favorite camera but if 
you have tried anything better, I don't think you can go back 
to this one.  And if you really like soft pictures, try 
"diffusion filters" in your "better" camera. :-)
