I could amuse myself by asking you why I would want to switch to a smaller fov if it didn't actually zoom the view (and make dots bigger, as you claimed), but its just so obvious that you won't take the hint.

From the perspective of PHOTOGRAPHY ~


1.3 Barrel and Pin-cushion distortion
The two typical lens distortion that occur are called barrel and pin-cushion distortion. They are named by the effect that they have upon an image, as shown in Figure 1.4. Barrel distortion is found in wide-angle views and it is the result of the squeeze that is applied in order to fit the image in a smaller space. On the other hand, pin-cushion is found in telephoto because of the stretching applied in the image in order to feet the space. The squeezing and the stretching of images vary radially due to the design of the lenses, making these distortions visually most prominent at the image corners and sides.





However... from the perspective of PROJECTION (which is what the image on the monitor is) the opposite applies.

You do realise fisheye is a higher than usual FOV?

Define: usual

I'm sorry that you seem to have forgotten that you made the claim - you need to present your reasoning there.
