rMBP - no Antiglare/matte display option?

[Crisis]

According to an Apple's engineer, there is no antiglare option because the grains on the antiglare screen are larger than retina pixels, which will affect the overall clarity of the screen.

I totally understand matte screens if you work outside. My 2007 Macbook is neigh unuseable outside. I just wondered for those who work indoors. 95% of the time I use my laptop indoors and away from glare, where the glossy screen looks fantastic.

Interesting. I'v seen a matte antiglare screen protector on a iPhone 4S and it killed the screen's appeal to me.

Because the screen has less glare than the glossy cMBP. Apple claims it has 75% less reflection than The previous generation.

Yes. But it still has glare.

I don't care as much about total lumens of reflection as I do about visible sharp edges and shapes. The RMBP screen may reflect fewer photons than the matte screen, but it's much harder for me to read comfortably.

Do you have a link to that? Or have you talked to the engineer personally?

Actually I saw this theory on another forum, in which a guy talked to an engineer directly.
