Heh, I think the great deal of research is born of insecurity. I'm always worried there'll be someone out there who's a recognized expert on whatever I'm writing about, who will comment and say "THIS IS WRONG WRONG WRONG." You know, kind of like the scene in Annie Hall where Woody Allen brings Marshall McLuhan out from where he's hiding in order to tell another character he has no idea what he's talking about. :D

That's a fascinating observation about 3D! In the past I've been told that my writing is "sparse" and "spare," so I love the idea that all those little details I try to work in give it dimensionality.
