Name another industry where the quality of work is leaps and bounds worse than it was 15+ years ago, yet the profits for the companies keep rising to silly new levels.
What it most reminds of is the Toronto Maple Leafs: haven't won a Cup in nearly 60 years, yet have a rabid fan base and play to sellout crowds. Lots of opposition telling the fans how much their team stinks, yet nothing deters that fan base.
TPAs and their adherents all like to point out that the pre-TPA days were like "the wild west". OOOOO, scary! Frankly, it was a far, far better era, provided you knew what you were doing. I certainly miss the days where more emphasis was placed on personal responsibility and knowledge of the subject matter as opposed to deferring to an LOA or a slab. Ugh.
Forgive this sidetrack, but these were my immediate thoughts upon seeing that N4 label.
