But the one on the left... there's a slight distortion, a faint pattern from the tempering process. He wipes sweat from his eyes and points a trembling finger at the left panel I've spent thirty years looking at surfaces like these. If I'm wrong, we're both done for. Do you trust my eyes, or are you going to take your chances with luck?
