You did really well in photography. Does that mean the "myth" about if being "mystical and difficult is bullshit" because BILLIONS of people own cameras and take pictures?
Of course not!
There are millions of kids who can do hammer-ons on a guitar. That don't make them Eddie Van Halen.
You are generalizing too much and painting everyone with the same brush.
You have some good points but your negating yourself from the discussion by trying to make absolute statements that just are not true when applied to the REAL people in this business.

The biggest issue with Paul - and I do respect his past work, and understand about his health issues (which facilitates, to some extent, his seemingly endless posts meaning he has the time to write them) - is that he feels everyone else is wrong, doesn't know shit, is doing it all WRONG, etc etc etc.
Paul: If so many of us were/are "wrong" as you constantly point out in almost every thread you either start or post in, then HOW do we manage to stay in business, make a living, feed our family, grow our businesses, etc etc?
Not everyone is against Paul but his never-ending rants about how others are wrong or are just not doing it right are tiresome and just plain inaccurate.
