I'd have taken it more as, reflected light would be better than straight to the eye light


How does the eye even "know" which kind of light it is? What's the difference, is one spectrum smoother and the other spiky or what? That's the part where a citation is needed.

Paper is more pleasant on the eyes for many reasons that don't apply to a reflective very bright projector screen.


This is me being a 100% armchair physicist, but I'd theorize it'd be something like trying to iluminate a room with a flashlight vs pointing it to a white (diffusive?) surface, counter intutively you achieve better* ilumination with the aditional diffusive surface

* Better for say, photography
