Camouflage only works at a distance. The squares which are so clear to you at 20 feet become blotches at 200 meters.

In the article, he showed that pattern doesn't require straight lines to be obvious. The objective is to break up the outline, which is how we identify things. The "Dual Tex" concept is to provide spoofs -- shapes that the eye will pick up, then discard, like when you look at ground pepper in a glass jar, or a gumball machine. You see the shapes and colors, but don't process them -- the "data" from your eyes is dumped while your brain seeks something more important.

Consider black and white stripes. On a highway barrier, you see it, on a zebra in the wile, you may not.

I think the zebra anaology is a little flawed.

The purpose of zebra stripes goes along with the fact that zebras are herd animals and, when packed up together, makes it hard for lions and other predators to distinguish which end of the herd to attack. Theres no head or rear from the lions point of view and it looks like a giant black and white striped "thing" thats going to be more than one lion can take down.
