The camera-obscura debacle has been rebutted many times from many corners
and many angles,

Traditional draftsmanship was capable of amazing things, but is practically
extinct, and Hockney
was simply looking for excuses for his own deficiencies.

partially rebut the camera obscura debate (they maintained that that
was no evidence of a mechanism for perspective) but it was never
published.
