Let's keep this simple for starters.
the first picture, the camera is dead on straight. Notice nothing in the red circle
the second picture, the camera has stepped to the right and looking left. Notice the fallen tree in the circle.
It's irrelevant which picture is first btw so let's not get caught up on that. Why would a fallen tree be more visible when looking to the left than being dead on? If, in fact you're correct about this being the exact same spot.
Look at my GIF above with the pink line. It makes the rotation obvious, and shows why the fallen tree appears to "move the other side" of the stump.

No, I don't think you're being idiots. I just think you're trying to find a solution to a problem that doesn't exist.
If the top picture you made with #1&2 shows a tree moving to the left of a tree trunk caused by the parallax effect, then how is it possible in the same picture showing the tree roots in the water move to the right? Follow what I'm saying?
Imagine projecting that pink line back, right through the "Bigfoot", into the trees behind. It should be clear that if you do that, the "back end" of the line, behind Bigfoot, swings the opposite way to the "front end", right?

You're correct to a point. But trying to get behind you in your reasoning here...I just can't get there. The large broken trunk that the fallen tree jumps to the left of, should ALSO move in relation to perspective. But it doesn't. Not much anyway compared to the rest of the illusion. The more I put myself into your head space to conclude the same, the more it doesn't make sense. Too many things moving dramatically and to many things staying in the same spot.
