I appreciate your unpacking of the subject for me.

If this permits one to focus at 100m and simultaneously see the little triangle in focus, I can see why people are enthusiastic about this. At 100m or less I don't think the occlusion below the horizon would be much of an issue.

That's exactly what it does, which is its strongest selling point. You do have to align more than the ad implies though. Its about 1/2way between conventional irons & a scope.
