If the reader can see all those dots in the smaller of the two codes, why shouldn't they just make a NEW kind of QR code with more dots of that size and store WAY more info than one small code and one large code of the same bit-dimensions? I imagine they'd have to make new readers for this double QR code anyway, so i really don't see the point... Now, if a reader that could only see the large dots could still process THAT information without getting confused, and still glean something useful from the code (just not ALL the data present), it KIND OF makes sense, but even then that's stretching it... -Taylor
