Hello all,
I believe Michael misread Donald's post and thought that Donald was
referring to his *own* book when he (Donald) commented that Campbell's book
was "hard to improve on". I agree that Michael should read messages more
carefully, but if this was just a misunderstanding, it isn't
My appreciation to Donald McBurney and Jeff Ricker for their clear
explanations of Laws vs. Theories. Very helpful! And Annette Taylor's
caveat (about classifying the works of Piaget and Kohlberg as theories) is
well taken.

I'm pretty sure the goggles are polarizing lenses.
They also use them in Disney's Animal Kingdom in "It's Tough to be a
Bug" (which has some great smell-o-vision effects that don't require
goggles!) and -- my personal favorite -- in Disney/MGM at "Muppetvision

I am curious about the IMAX effect Stephen describes, but I am dubious that
they have discovered a new effect. But my main reason for responding is to
emphasize that depth perception is depth perception. There are two classes
of "cues," but they both produce compelling depth. Perhaps it helps t

this just an AB design or will it be an ABA design?
