FWIW I see plenty of detail on the caps on my monitor as well (calibrated Macbook Pro).
I think it's good for the photographer to get feedback about possible issues with the image (esp. if it's a problem that will result in many/most viewers not seeing what the photographer intended to present) but it's also just as important, if one person states that there is an "issue" with an image, for others to let the photographer note that they don't see the same problems. Failure to "chime in" on something like this leaves the photographer and the original "reviewer" unaware of where the problem lies.
