I totally agree with this.

This is a minor point and one might think it picky of me to point it out,
but, however small the differences between these two images, they can not be
adjusted to match, either optically or digitally, because the difference is
not a matter of magnification, but increase as the objects get closer. At
infinity there would be essentially no difference and the size differences
would increase as the distance decreased, so as you adjusted an object in
one image to match the other, the rest of the image would be getting farther
off. (But in most cases the differences would be so small it wouldn't even
be worth trying to adjust.)
