I mostly agree... though when you get cross eyed to look at a close object, 
your eyes are used to get focus closer.
Here they are not able to...I got some trouble with that before accepting 
it.
At other moments I enjoyed having (as IRL) small things as 'mosquitoes' or 
seeds flying at the edge of  my awareness between me and captivating action. 
I thing it is a gimmick though, when got used to, it loses most of it 
interest.
