Binary
We have binary vision to help us read depth, movement, form..it's pointless to deny this in our painting. Closing one eye either has an effect on what we see (the subject) or it's a waste of time. The effect it must have is to flatten out the subject. So, if we completely suceed in nailing the subject then we capture a flatter image and get quite naturally a flatter painting.
I don't see why we would want that. It's the roundness of artists like Sargent and Hals that separate their work from someone like T. Eakins who loved the one-eyed camera. (I have never seen one color sketch of his done to use with the photos.)
