Ok, I'll try to see it from that perspective.

But then, in the fisheye case, if I draw a rectangle, why's it 
*distorted* in the end? I mean, it's just taking four points; they may 
not yield a rectangle when connected, but the lines should be straight, 
not distorted? -- Yet, if this is the case, the fisheye doesn't really 
fulfill its purpose, does it?

But basically, the point is that we've had these semantics in gl earlier 
(the scale defines the size of things, esp. boxes), and it was so 
difficult to work with. I simply don't want to continue working in this 
system.
