[QUOTE="Kobold Boots, post: 5700128, member: 92239"] The world you live in and the one I live in are two different things. I haven't been beaten by a computer chess game since I was 15. Granted, I'm not playing Big Blue and I'm not Kasparov. And if they weren't making any money they wouldn't be doing it either. That has absolutely nothing to do with the statement you quoted above it. Reputation is one thing but if a product sells, people are buying it. Please make an attempt to stay on point. Better off in terms of quality of work - yes More profitable - no Why - Because there's a price point that you'll reach where quality won't result in increased sales and a price point at which that quality will result in increased sales. Bringing craftsmen into the fold will increase costs past a certain segment of the market's willingness to buy at an increased retail price inflated to maintain margins. Granted you're taking the noble ideal driven MBA approach and I'm taking the gritty disenfranchised MBA approach. We're both right but we could probably do with some compromise in both our positions.
