Right.
Guidelines suggest
a rational process
by intelligent beings
to make and/or qualify
reasonable judgments .

Determining that the saturation slider has gone too far;
resulting in a professionals loss of job;
seems like micro management to the absurd.
A simple, "hey, cut back on the saturation Joe, probably would have  
worked."

This comes down to pushing and pulling
to determine where an arbitrary line should be drawn.
When in reality - it shouldn't be a line;
but rather a case by case rational evaluation.
Who or what was harmed by this particular presentation of the visual  
information?

Whatever happened to "common sense?"
