Chimp all you want, I'd rather think about the next shot than worry about the last one.

Isn't chimping down to a lack of confidence in your and your camera's capabilities, maybe practicing between events would help. develop some plays so to speak. Most disappointments should be when your subject did something unexpected not because you had no idea what your camera was going to do. If you practice when the photo isn't important, you should be able to apply that practice when it matters. I think if you chimp all your shots you are impeding your own ability to learn.

Go out and take pictures. Chimp if you want.

Photographers in the film area achieved competence by various means, some of them complicated. I take my hat off to them.
Examining the monitor on the camera to determine information about a given shot only makes sense if one wishes to
confirm the shot came out as intended.
No argument exists here. This examination has the obvious purpose of learning the status of a shot.
Of course, some photographers appear to make it a point of pride that they can do photography without this examination. There are many ways to skin a cat.

So I guess photographers weren't competent before digital?
Chimping is NOT required for good practice, correct exposure and focus are. Some of us need (or want) to chimp, and some don't.

Not really - it is based on experience. When I first began using slide film, I would take one shot and move on; several weeks later the slides would come back from the processor and only then would I see all the issues with my pictures. Today, if I'm taking landscape or similar shots with no time pressure, I page through shots to look for ones that I want to redo {much better to do it now than when I'm two hours away}Isn't chimping down to a lack of confidence in your and your camera's capabilities, maybe practicing between events would help. develop some plays so to speak.

That's reviewing not chimping :) you already had the settings right in camera already.
