It completely depends on why you are making the print. To make money, or
render a scene with some intent with regard to perspective. At any rate, it
only matters if you want to also include a list of lighting conditions that
it need to be viewed under, a complete diet to be observed pre viewing and
all other sensory experiences. Jeeze. It's a print. It might hang in
different place or it may only sit in a drawer out of the light except on
rare occasion when a viewing is possible.
All the science is great about how to control the perspective from beginning
to end. In the end, does it really matter? How many prints are delivered
with a check list of how high to hang it, how much and what type of light
it's intended to be viewed under? And even still, how many more are viewed
that way?

Well put Eric. The science allows you to reproduce the original viewing situation, and was probably of more importance when your viewers were less visually literate and would be disturbed by the perspective of , say, an extreme wide angle lens or the like.
For our jaded visual palettes, often it is the ability to walk right up to an extreme sized print and examine minute detail which can contribute to its appeal.
For others, clearly the best viewing distance is extra-solar, no matter what the artists original intention was.
