I never said it wasn't an issue.

I never said a word about workflow, now did I?

I don't think that. I never said that, nor implied it. It's outright crap.
But as far as workflow developement, if you think the gap can actually be closed, in every way technically, between 
Piezography and the workflows discussed here without such assets and expertise available, I don't know what to say. 
Discerning taste has nothing to do with it, I've never said or implied that it did.
Regarding the rest, I think this thread has gotten real uninteresting real fast. If anyone is really that consumed with this, 
my opinions were already stated, aparently in french. I'm not going to say them again, or go into furthur explanation.
