I read "resolution" as pixel count more than DPI. As it becomes cheaper to capture and process higher res content, we're bound to push it to bigger displays (VR included). I guess the human eye will be the limit when we'

If you're waist deep in China White, you may as well teach your kids about it, get them as much knowledge as possible, and how to stay clear of it. Letting choose a different path than you is IMHO the minimum you should be doing.

There is always a question of whether a bad study is better than no study. I think weak studies validating people's natural intuitions tend to do more damage than we give them credit for. Even if another better d signed study does way
