I personally believe that "Yes" or "No" is sometimes better and much more useful than "well, MAYBE, but, well, I can't REALLY tell, it's kinda sorta"...

using two digital sensors is, in tandem, rediculously useful. Think about your eyes -- look at an object... if you close your left eye and can see it, check your right eye -- if your right eye can't see it, you need to turn left...
when you can turn left and see it, and you can see it with both eyes, it's in front of you....

once one eye loses sight, re-evaluate and adjust.
