    [Marvin Holdman] “But Bill, Final Swing Pro X (FSPX) levels the playing field, fine tennis players opinions are irrelevant now. The game of tennis is changing and skills is no longer needed.”

    Again, just for elemental clarification, I’m presuming that

    A) you understand the difference between athletic prowess and software design
    B) you understand the difference between a metaphor and misinterpretation (which obviously you don’t since you confuse the two quite regularly.)

    and most critically,

    C) the presumptive attachment of “skills is no longer needed” (ignoring the awful tense problem) – to me – when in fact I’ve never once knowingly argued anything even remotely like that (and, in fact disbelieve that assertion rigorously) – makes you look clever.

    I think you believe you’re making points here.

    But all I can impute to your argument in tennis terms, at least, is an over-abundance of love.

    Rock on, dude.

    I know better than to ever presume to make a point with you. Just rolling in the mud a bit on a warm day.

    Cheers.

    So right Marvin… And, he won’t even answer you if he knows you’ve really pinpointed a weakness in his argument. For example, see this post: https://forums.creativecow.net/readpost/335/22535.

    Of course, I’m sure he’ll say that one slipped through the cracks…

    [Bill Davis] “(ignoring the awful tense problem)”

    For someone who was quoting Justice O’Conner for the longest time, I don’t know that I would go there.

    [Bill Davis] ” the presumptive attachment of “skills is no longer needed” (ignoring the awful tense problem) – to me – when in fact I’ve never once knowingly argued anything even remotely like that (and, in fact disbelieve that assertion rigorously)”

    Over and over again you’ve maintained that the future belongs to dentists and auto mechanics making their own videos using FCPX. The future irrelevance of proper monitoring is another recurrent message. Calling broadcast editors “the priest class” and “the elites” peppers a lot of your posting gumbo.

    Taken together they seem to comprise an argument that mastering the technical side of our craft will no longer be important. If that was not your intent, it gave every appearance of being so.

    [Bill Davis] ” the presumptive attachment of “skills is no longer needed” … to me …makes you look clever. “

    Yeah, I thought it was a pretty funny retort to your tennis posting, grammatical error or not.
