That's what I said. Please read the context of the post more carefully.

Jonathan Gaters covered quite reasonable reasoning in an earlier post.

*Sigh*. You think the pilots are seeing a widescreen display as seen and
sent from the Eva's own eyes? Think about it, please. Transfering the
signals from the Eva's biological eyes to a wrap-around mechanical display
vs. Having cameras set up around the head to pick up (and zoom in, as seen
in the series IIRC) the surroundings in wide-screen. The latter, I think,
is the more sensible.

Plus Eva's eyes invariably face forward, analogous to our own. Can you see
approx. 320 degrees around your head?

Plus, in episode 2, when Unit 01's helmet falls off, Shinji can see the Eva
in the mirrored wall of a building BEFORE the eye opens.

Well? Be funnier.

I'll say it slowly: The. Vents. Would. Work. When. The. Eva. Isn't. Under.
Water.

Its reasonable: use the vents when on land, emergency internal oxygen
supply when underwater (or lava, or whatever).

I hope you never have to design any vents. If you do, having a way to close
them is a useful feature.

And *I'm* saying that your objections/criticisms aren't valid enough to
justify the "Otherwise" in that statement.

Now who needs to state evidence from the series?
