What do you mean, William? Isn't this what I've been saying all along? Or are you saying that if you wepose badly, you'll very likely become a great printer :-) But being a skilled printer, doesn't mean you shouln't expose properly, does it? Prints still can't produce deatails lost due to inproper exposure. Burned out highlights is a good example IMO.
What Bob said. That proper/inproper exposure is exclusivly the printers Toncern/problem. Not the photographers. This is where I disagree. And I will continue to do so. Even when shooting RAW I get bad exposures from time to time if I rely on the cvamera metering suggestions.

If you don't learn how to make good exposures, then you are going to be spending a lot of time fixing buggered up pictures. This will involve some screwed up exposures. I became a much better darkroom worker by doing printing for photographers who didn't produce good negatives. William Robb
