Maybe it’s just that the magic angle puts the poles (the coincidence points) of the Moire pattern at the right physical distance from each other, for low energy tunnelling or similar. So it’s a physical property more than a geometrical property.

With the foci of the parabolas in black, and the peaks of the parabolas in blue, giving funny loops. For such a simple system I have no intuition as to why those patterns appear! https://jsbin.com/noxixiziju/1/edit?html,output

Oh, interesting, I’ve not heard of that. Cross-polarization might be an easier method, but possibly less effective?
I’m thinking about this immersion thing and I don’t understand how it would work. How would the index of refraction affect the shininess? Are there some examples somewhere?
Great demonstration of how specular highlights are reduced upon immersion in water. https://twitter.com/3Dmattias/status/1134454234466922496
