When people like me say DOOM is a 2D game we're speaking from a computer's standpoint to make that claim, while the people claiming that DOOM is a 3D game are simply using their sense of sight - "it looks 3D-ish therefore it's 3D".

So yes, from a human's perspective DOOM could considered a 3D game, but from a computer's perspective it is not, and that's why humans use computers to make proper measurements of anything, because our brain can be very easily deceived into making wrong conclusions based on what we see.

Saying that DOOM is a 3D game is like saying that the guy to the right on pic related is a real giant because that's what we see.
