"...Customers have the final say. Builders and designers ignore their messages
at their peril. Regularly I hear from people who say that such and such a
boat that I designed is a water pig. Fortunately enough people like them to
pay my bills. The fascinating thing is that so many who don't like a boat
act as if the designer had committed a personal offence. Sort of, "How dare
you design such a boat?" Experts are the worst in this respect."

John, being an expert of some sorts (photographer) I am sharing your opinion!
Experts have the knowhow - but do not always know "how"...

I know that this makes no sense to most of you, but anyway,  I want to cite 
a local proverb: "the truth lies in rye bread"   :-)

Think about that.
