OK, I'll give it a try.

That you have a degree of depth perception in a "3D game" like half-life 
even with both eyes open.

I wasn't really nit-picking about terminology. I was simply trying to 
explain what I was talking about. Namely, that you can easily judge depth in 
a game that only has one image, so you can easily judge depth with one eye 
open looking at the real world.
