My thoughts on the steering TSB:

Pros:
Steering is definitely tighter
Vehicle tracks straighter, especially at freeway speeds, without the need for (as much) corrective input to the steering wheel. aka the dead spot is gone.

Other: (maybe cons but not sure yet)
Steering feels heavier than before
The steering ratio seems to have changed, meaning, it requires more steering wheel input to turn the same amount as before. This could just be due to the "heavier" feel or the fact that the feel is vastly different now.
Steering does not return to center as easily as it did before.

Right now it just feels "different" but I'm pleased with the results. However, I think there may be some folks who won't like it due to the "other"s above.
The input may be because your using the full wheel now less the dead space ?

Heavier feel might be because it's now tighter and more sensitive ?

All in All your pleased - so far ?

Do dogs see in 2D?
Charlie barks at squirrels on TV and wolves on Skyrim, so they probably don't think of a 2D image as anything not real. I'm not sure about a static image or drawing though, lol.

All are possible, and yes, I do like it. Like I said in that post, it could be that it's so different and will just take a few outings to acclimate.

What I find really funny is, the guy still hasn't posted a pic! It's nuts!!
The old adage "one picture is worth a thousand words (or maybe posts in this case)" comes to mind.
