Well. yes and no.
The human eye has a flexible lens that adapts on the fly to where your
focused on. Your resolution of vision is so small in any place BUT
that focus area (the fovea)
that its already blurred well beyond anything depth of field will do.
Your right that when the mechanism starts failing though it becomes
more obvious.
Even in that case though the effect is *nothing* like a rendered DOF,
which is simulating a camera.

Can't argue with that... *unless* your goal is a "movie look" as opposed to
a natural look. For instance, movie sequences rendered in Lionhead's
"the movies."
Even in cut scenes thoough I'm not sure ist good unless again you
artistically *wan't*
cut scenes to look more movie-like and less live.

Sounds annoying as heck under most situations 8)
