The 'depth' is irrelevant, perhaps the link I posted to an x-ray might have done a bit more than hint at that! :) My point isn't depth, more that depth with movement makes a constantly changing scene with more evaluating possibilities. Addressing the link, it was talking about looking for things as...

It happened ages ago, so either the bad things have been with us without anyone noticing, or it wasn't ...
