But @Runslongtrail, that is exactly the way dinner plates and manhole covers and other circular objects appear to you in the real world every waking minute. It is rare indeed that you would ever look at a circular object dead on so as to see it as a true circle. It is also rare that you would maintain an immobile, fixed viewing angle as you work with something. You would more likely move your head around and look at the thing from various angles as you interact with it. That’s the way you should work in SU–constantly orbiting from one viewing angle to another to give yourself the best possible view of what you’re doing at all times.
You have a lifetime of conditioning that has taught you to see, recognize, and interact with objects appearing as foreshortened in a natural perspective view. The unnatural, artificial way of looking at objects is in an orthographic view. Nothing actually looks like that.
