Richard!  You just made an authority-based statement!  Shame on you!
;-)

What if I want to test for trefoil or other higher orders of
astigmatism?!  You just wave your hand and say it's not there?  I'm
supposed to be satisfied?  Maybe I should join that local college mirror

problem.  (Problem...what problem?)  ;-)
