What I meant was the over enthusiastic marketing techniques 
that end up getting used in the pursuit of the almighty dollar.

They keep coming up with great technologies, but then over 
selling them as "the next big thing that replaces all others".

I have nothing inherently against soft synths. I just wish they 
wouldn't market them as a "superior replacement' for something 
else. And I wish people wouldn't buy into that marketing crap, 
and then parrot it back at me. It gets on my one remaining nerve.
