WRONG, it is. You never think of it, or maybe, you don't want to see it. I don't know which way. Either way, you are in process of just denying
without argument. And you try to push me to the "einstein is wrong", "show me NASA specifications" whatever.
Here it is one example of cat-eye effect:
You see, the squash-ing of the disc have one axis of simetry toward the center of the frame. This is a good clue. If you want to dismiss it...go to
your pool.

It is not only a claim, it's an argumented observation. Have you seen it? What's wrong in that issue? That i haven't NASA data? Should we SWALLOW
that M.Stubbs famous NASA movie without judging every bit of information that we can get? Should we focus only on "we don't have data, it looks
strange, therefore it is unexplainable". This is not rational thinking (dismissing when having some little information from the movie, what we see
if we look beyound superficiality, and using some human knowledge in some particular fields appilcable here - optics -).

show me a video with MULTIPLE OBJECTS (light sources that you call BOKEH) that exhibit different notches, some one, some two in the same video.
I don't have exactly this (and this is not my guild don't blame and push on me).
I have something very near of what you ask.
This movie:
www.youtube.com...
I think you know it.
There are not many objects. It is only one. But it has notches. And is just an airy disc, a bokeh effect.
That airy disc moves across different areas of the frame.
And guess what?
It has dark center (as bokeh from catadioptric lens always have dark center - the "donut" effect) it has variable notches, depending on what
position it has on the frame.
Some shots:
no notch:
one 6'o clock notch:
2 twelve o'clock notches:
You see? morphing bokeh as a function from position in the frame.
If there happened to be multiple airy discs, then you would see diiferent disks with different nothes in the same image.

The effort to understand these little concepts it's on you! But if you want to deny them, you should argument your opinion right on the particular
issue...not just telling me that Einstein is wrong, basic principles of optics are not valid, rational thinking and efforts to extract more
information on carefull examination should be futile etc
Enjoy your pool!
