LOL! This clearly proves even further what a complete loon you are.
Apart from the golden ratio of 1.61:1 for our vision having been
pointed out to you before, hence we see closer to 16:9 than 4:3,
there's so many things wrong with your statement "Widescreen is much
lower in horizontal resolution as its pixels are less square" that show
how full of shit you really are.

Can't wait for your reply so I can laugh at you some more.
