This is incorrect, the amount of parallax you need to get the same kind of accurate depth using camera is infeasible. Velodynes other common lidar now gets you points accurate at 150m+. Cameras can't do that, and if you use nets to guess you'll still make mistakes.

You miss the point; saying human 3D reconstruction works because of sensors without world context is naive. The response was trying to capture that; human perception systems utilize context / background knowledge extensively.
