Umm all you want, but I've tried a number of autofocus systems, with high 
hopes mind you, and yes, I know how to use them.  Yes, you can get these 
results by dumb luck, sometimes, but the autofocus system has an angle of 
view, and that angle is not necessarily very small.  They focus on the 
closest thing within their view.

Would you please state what camera, what f stop, lense, and how far you 
were away from the subject?
