Good point SG.

By the time VR is at that stage, LD induction will indeed be a mouse-click away.

And you're right they are two totally different experiences. But I think each has its merits.
Super-VR would be like an LD except with the rules of a video game. For a gamer, that is a truly awesome thing.
Insta-LD comes with all the benefits LDing already comes with. Which are countless.

I think you'd be right in saying that still, VR<LDing.
At first glance, it seems unfair to say that one is better than the other, but you cannot argue with the countless benefits of a LD.
