The way you wrote it could be considered an ad hominem attack.

You should be used to it by now. I could care less about love, peace and PC smarminess in a discussion of camera technology and technique. Good, clear information and directly stated opinions are all I find useful. >> There are legitimate uses for extraordinary sensitivity.

I don't know how being obsessed with something as a Holy Grail helps you in getting the pictures you want to make. When I run into the limitations of my equipment, I work on thinking up ways to extend the envelope so I can still make my photographs. Having extra-high, clean-resolving sensitivity to work with helps a lot. It wasn't available for 40 of the 45+ years I've been doing photography, so I learned how to get around that limitation for the most part.
