 I agree. If the people at the Brooks institute think otherwise it is
 because they are wrong. Focusing beyond infinity just means that the plane
 of focus is ahead of the film plane. Farsighted people routinely focus
 beyond infinity when they are not wearing glasses. There is nothing
 mystical about focusing beyond infinity.
