I've seen the same kind of attitude in martial arts. Minimalist techniques
that "git'r done" are deprecated in favor of "flash," the Hollywood
fiction
that requires multiple cameras and lots of retakes to get "right." I much
prefer one simple technique that stops the fight cold to ten thousand
flashy techniques that leave the opponent still fighting 15 minutes later.
And on THAT subject, I'm a 4th-degree black belt, so I AM qualified to
have
an opinion.
My $0.02 worth,
Crazy Bob
