This is exactly right: To the eye, light is light. It really doesn't react differently whether the light is reflected, or projected.

Eye muscles react to light intensity, to distance, to object clarity, and to differences between the point being focused on and the surrounding visual data... all of those elements cause the eye muscles to work to compensate for them. The more the eye muscles have to work, the more fatigue those eye muscles feel.

Everyone's eyes are different, and some eyes react more to one stimulus than to others. To some, the lack of contrast in e-ink screens can be as fatiguing as the wrong light intensity on an LCD screen. That's just one reason why some people can read more comfortably on an LCD screen than an e-ink screen, and there are others.

To reiterate my earlier point, any claim that one display technology is better than the other is purely subjective. What works for you, works for you.
