I often wonder whether people who are so quick to dismiss Burdick's work realize his dedication to the hobby and the mind-set he had. It went far beyond checking in on an Internet chat board a few times a day and posting some musings. He dedicated much of his life to collecting and cataloging cards.
That's not to say his work is beyond reproach, but again, I just wonder whether the naysayers realize what/who they're challenging.
