Not at all. No one would argue that. But the point is, digital only 
makes it easier. An honest photographer is going to remain honest. 
Digital is not like Crack cocaine - well at least not for most of us - 
taking away any reason that a photographer has. If you could trust a 
photographer with film, you can trust them with digital.

The bigger problem than digital has always been photographers who 
choose to manipulate what happens in front of their cameras.
