Geoff, 

That's only true if you're both absolutely certain that your 
imagination and technical skills are capable of planning and 
executing the best possible image in any circumstance, AND if you're 
correct in that certainty, such that nothing unexpected could ever 
benefit you.  

Fortunately for me, I am absolutely certain I will never reach that 
level; my problem is that from time to time I drift into acting, and 
shooting, as though I have.  (Usually at that point my own work 
starts to bore me.)

> Every other outcome is worse. 

May you never lose that kind of certainty.

And may I never live long enough to have it.

Each to his own.  Go shoot.
