It's basic optics, Mike, but considers not only the camera lens but the human eye's lens. It has absolutely nothing
to do with digital and is not influenced by digital technology. It's as valid today and tomorrow as it was with an
8x10 view camera.

It's most definitely an optical thing, and will continue to exist forever.
It's not a subjective thing, it's objective fact.
I suggest you read this for an overview

I suggest you guys read the booklet to which MikeG posted a link.

Although I've never looked into the details why I have so often found DoF calculations and scales not to give me the
results I expect or want. This guy has looked deeply into an alternate way of looking at how to get images with the
usable areas of focus.
Deeply thought through, not dismissive of conventional DoF calculations, but answering some questions I had and some I
didn't know I had. You may not need to work through all the algebra and details of the illustrations, as the text
descriptions are pretty clear.
No test 'til Saturday, as we're off to the woods for the rest of the week.
