I remember back when video projectors first came out (~97), I had a manager who kept telling me that he wanted to "see a 17-inch monitor" projected on one. I tried several times to explain that it was a function of resolution, not physical screen size, and he never did get it.
It's a twitchy concept, until you grasp it (everything's simpler once you already understand it

), seems to me like you understood it pretty quickly and without much explanation, radleyp.
