The fact that you can see individual grains near you, but not farther away is exactly what we're talking about here. Try again with the sand far beyond your feet (like, say, 10 feet away). Now do the same with the grains of sand by your feet. Start counting how many grains of sand you can see next to you. Go to the beach (or a big sandbox, or a baseball diamond). If they did, it wouldn't be better, it would be average. Also, just because you have better vision, doesn't mean most people have better vision. This is like arguing doors should be bigger because there are tall people. In response to my previous articles on the stupidity of 4K TVs, many people argued they had better vision, or some other number should be used. Projectors are not TVs 4K TVs are a waste. When I expand out to fill the full 10-foot-wide 2.35:1 screen, I can see pixels with some projectors.
I have a 102-inch 'TV' and sit 9 feet from it. It is my fault for trying to make a nuanced argument on the Internet.
