As much as I might wish to bask in the glow of Chuck's generous praise and
claim for my own such an astute observation, I cannot in good conscience do so.
The quote regarding the angle of coverage is by Ken Norton, from his
surrebuttal to my rebuttal to the apparent consensus that this photograph is
genuine.
I do, however, have one good eye, and the other one's fair to middlin'. And I
remain unanimously unconvinced about the genuineness off the picture, lens
angles and sensor sizes and such nothwithstanding.
