Ah! The STEM person and their inability to deal with squishiness! Lovely, just lovely!
You have to ask yourself one thing: What actually matters when it comes to resolution? Human perception does, of course! Everything else is pointless. Human perception is inherently squishy, that's just how it is. There really is no way around that.
If you start talking resolutions without a more complete understanding of human perception giving you context your talk is just meaningless.
The retina term here provides an easy summary, nothing more. There are always edge cases, sure, but the retina term is both explicit and unspecific enough to work very well. That's why I like it so much.
Yes, distances are different - but not so different. Yes, visual acuity is different and that sucks - but the simple solution here is to just pick 20/20. Maybe a bit better.
There are no simple yes/no answers here - but I don't think there have to be.
