I vote for Hans Knuchel on the first question, who I believe is a master
illusionist in stereoscopic arts.  I don't have the "long view" of many
years in 3-d to comment on the second question...  but I would not be
surprised if this is happening only now.

Burgundy makes you think of silly things,
Bordeaux makes you talk about them,
and Champagne makes you do them.
