Versions one and two are the same except for proximity of the original, which
does not much effect the viewer's dissatisfaction with the variations among
the viewed reproductions... the idea that version one in is therefore not
metamerism while version two is, qualifies in my book as a level of
literalism worthy only of those who have been elected to public office!
