   The first thing that comes to my mind is what "resolution" the fiber optic   
   has? Because when you reduce the image to such small size, there sure must   
   be some loss of resolution in the fiber optic - since I am not engineer and   
   I dunno nothing about fiber optic cables then the most basic stuff, I think   
   they're constructed only for two possibilities - light "on" and light "off",   
   am I right? And with this Gibsonian idea you should have fiber optic capable   
   of maintaining light differences through its surface - and is this possible?   
   what is actually  the material structure of fiber optics? Just some more   
   ideas ;-)
