MOD NOTE: The initial posts in this thread have been brought over from the Should the Needs of the Few Outweigh the Needs of the Many thread.
You know, I have been thinking a lot about this these days and I came to the conclusion that yes, manufacturers should keep their standards as high as possible, making the best possible ski and if someone finds them too demanding and difficult, this someone should go back to the drawing board and start anew.
Everything else would equal betrayal of ones own standards and catering to a crowd of idiots who are unwilling to put effort.
Can you imagine Salinger sitting quietly and thinking: Well perhaps I should explain the significance of Sybil's bath suite being blue in the eyes of Seymour when in reality it was yellow. Should I tell them why it was blue?......Nah...f*ck that s*it man, I aint explaining anything, whoever gets it, gets it and these are the precious few I am writing for. All the rest can just sod off, right now!
Jeez, I LOVE Salinger!
