Therefore your idea of what is required as regards to squinting is yours not mine.
While I agree that amount-of-squinting is an inherently subjective measure, higher resolution scans would not make any difference. The text is unreadable not because we are missing some tiny details that could be revealed by a microscope, but because the overall shape of the characters is unrecognizable: the text is so small and poorly executed that one cannot even tell which alphabet was used, if the text was meant to be read upside-down, how many distinct glyphs are present.
