You're right, closing one eye doesn't completely eliminate the 3-d
effect.  However, you're explanation is completely wrong.  Light
travels at basically the same speed through the atmosphere and the
eye isn't sensitive enough to detect the time change in light arriving
from objects at different distances.  The eye only responds to changes
longer than 1/30th sec (or something like that).
