Of course stereoscopic vision is not going to work when watching a 
movie!!! It's a 2D screen! LOL!

Can anyone think of a single athlete with only one eye?

More to the point, the general public doesn't have access to 3D games or 
(usually) movies at all. It's *all* a flat TV screen.

Yet, oddly enough, one learns to aim the grenade launcher to land the 
grenade where you want it to go, even without stereoscopic visuals.

Sure. I even know basketball players with no legs.

They're not world class players, mind.

  Then why don't you? It's cool. Eg. 3D games look really cool that way.
If nothing else, watch someone else playing eg on youtube or whatever.

  I don't understand. The general public doesn't have access to games or
movies? I don't get it.

  Ok, maybe we are having a confusion of terminology.

  This is a 2D game:

  This is a 3D game:

  Clearer now?

I think he means the public don't have access to stereoscopic viewing 
technologies.

The military has (for example) those TV screens with the weird 
flickering LCD glasses that give you a headache but also generate a true 
full-colour stereo image...

  Then it's unrelated to what I wrote, and an odd response.

  I was nowhere talking about any stereoscopic viewing technologies.

Not in 3D. Just in perspective.

Contrast with a movie theatre where you wear special glasses, or with a play 
or puppet show.

My point being that even with both eyes open, looking at light projected on 
a 2D flat movie screen, you still have a sense of depth. You know Bruce 
Willis' car is closer than the bad guy's helicopter even if it's a flat 
photo on a flat screen.
