I agree completely with everything Loki says. It's all perfectly
correct. Whether your eyes see the difference is based on the quality
of your eyes. Ears are FAR more sensitive. My eyes are very old and
quite blurry looking even at real life. It hardly matters to me what
the quality of my screen is after the second beer. ;-)
