Your claim that you get really bad artifacts on a retina display when you draw lines properly is also needs citation. I don't know if the retina display has enough pixels to meet the claims either, but it seems you're confusing anti-aliasing with subpixel rendering.

It is possible to show, however, that if a scene has a band-limited detail property and the join response of your visual system, your eyes' point spread function and the pixel geometry resembles a Nyquist pulse, then indeed there is a density (which would be equal to the density where 1 pixel is covered by 1 sampling element in the retina) which is sufficient for perfect reconstruction of the image, even if it is moving.

Yes. However, the retina display is not there yet.
