Your KISS technique = fine technique - simply - because you had standards which you stuck to. You knew where your shadows and highlights would fall because of tried and true experience over and over again. While you may not have done Ansel type zone tests; you made intuitive adjustments over time until you arrived at your working method. You knew how your meters worked and you knew damn well what the f:stop and shutter speed was at 3 pm in october in Montreal, whether overcast or sunny, even without a meter; just as you could tell us, right now, what the exposure specs were for some iteration of ektachrome at at some olympic pool in 1982 - when you nailed the highlights in 600 exposures. Sometimes, after enough experience knowing becomes intuition.
