I don't see anything special about a magnification of 1.0 for that.
I quite often keep both eyes open so that I can check for things
happening out of frame.  If anything, I use that technique more
with long focal lengths than with a 50mm lens, so I'm looking at
a very magnified view through the camera.  The human eye & brain
is amazingly good at reconciling the two different fields of view.
