Strictly near the center, if only for it being the place where I focus
my test shots.

It just follows standard "scientific method" outline format for
REPRODUCIBLE scientific experimentation - which all experiments need to
be to be valid. Schools in the USA generally teach scientific method in
Chemistry, where it is the format you need to use in writing up your
experimentation. I think I also got it in early Biology lab courses.

25 years of being peer reviewed will transform most anyone who does
research into doing things carefully. There is always someone ready to
refute your findings if you slip up. Not so with general society. The
masses seem to accept what is told to them without question. We could
all give examples, but I'm not wanting to be guilty of going off-topic!

Probably one more reason not to test lenses on an early model body.
