Well, I give up. If you really feel you can't take pictures without the
crutch of arbitrary rules and the pointless imposition of pseudo-precision,
then good luck to you - but you might want to think about a different
hobby. Putting a guide on a focusing screen is silliness in the extreme.
Like I said, rules of thumb are approximate, so if you do feel you need to
be bound by these rules, then "roughly a third" is all you need (and either
set of rules equates to roughly a third). If you can't judge "roughly a
third" by eye, then you definitely need to take up another hobby.
