Callst me liar!?!  If you would give the lie, sir, give it plain, and 
send me the length of your blade!

(Now that *that's* out of my system.... :D)

I only convey the legend I have heard.  And I know how myth-making can 
be.  At Known World Dance, I spoke with several folks who had the most 
vivid memories of me at last Gulf War, even after I told them I've never 
been to one.  (One conversation - "Are you sure you've never been to 
Gulf War?"  "Ummm, yeah, I'm sure.  Even when I drank, I never lost a 
whole war.")

With a Cariadoc, it can only be worse.  But I can vouch that it doesn't 
take much loss of accuity to lose the stars.  I have also been told 
(more legend?) that he uses a (period?) trick to sharpen his vision 
temporarily.  Hold the tips of your thumbs and forefingers together, and 
view distant object through the pinhole thus formed.  It works quite 
well.
