So it does, I didn't read the text on the image because the cool factor of the image itself was making my eyes bug out. I blame it on the forum that directed me there. While I've read a lot of documentation that says normal maps have an advantage, that is only on paper (or LCD emitters really), and I agree I haven't really seen anything that I don't think could be done with a bump map. You still can't alter the base geometry in profile or modify non-self shadows with either method.
