I'm still looking for objective analysis of Robo Foucalt's methods and
theoretical performance.  Until I find that sort of info...the jury is out
on how good or bad the approach is.  (However, the flood of opinions on the
ATM list will not abate! ;-)

Did Richard Suiter publish a year or two ago (in ATMJ?) an analysis of
video camera foucalt testing?  Any references to it online available today?
 Any important conclusions that he drew from his work?  Was his method
fundamentally different from Robo Foucalt, or the same?
