Piling on:

How about making a one-pass anaglyph, doing image processing, or setting up a
captioning system for animation, submitting to an animation contest that wants
non-4:3 entries?  For doing "great things" in povray (as opposed to "petty
things" in povray like taking someone's code to make full-screen wallpaper),
you might have to know exactly where an object will be relative to the camera.

I submit that if you gave a bunch of intelligent people the docs, most of them
wouldn't be able to straight-up code a box that exactly fills the screen. You
could probably dig up phrases buried somewhere in the doc to embarrass them
however. That's a problem.
