This is just a guess, but has anyone considered that the human vision might have been "horizontally optimized"? I mean our two eyes are placed so we have greater horizontal viewing angle so perhaps horizontal scrolling of the eye causes less of a "blur" effect than vertical scrolling. If so, it could mean that the vertical model was actually the flawed one (demotivator reference here). Just a though I would like to see proofs for or against.
