Re: Why is 2.35:1 so overused on DVDs?

I admire you Carl Eber. There’s something about the cut of your jib. I think it has to do with your absolute focus on accuracy, the unwillingness to accept the blatant imprecision of rounding and the insistence on carrying computations to the 74th significant digit. And I think it also has something to do with your dogged pursuit of not only the truth, but the reason why something is true. No, its not enough that people with far greater direct experience and historical context say its so. It would be the easy way out to accept the logic of their positions at face value and move on. But no, that’s not the Carl Eber way. Instead you persevere with the unwavering determination of a pig after a truffle, the tenacity of a bulldog’s grip on a trouser leg. No amount of shaking will throw you off. Go Carl! Go!

You are my hero Carl Eber.
