Myths about full-frame cameras

OK, let's hear them. (Just in time for holiday upgrades ... 
)
1. Bigger pixels are better pixels
2. If you're not full-frame, you're not fully serious
3. If they weren't better, they wouldn't be more expensive
4. Film was full frame and film is still better
5. Your photography is improved by the crop factor of going full frame, 50% better for Nikon users and 60% improvement for Canon users
6. If you can't afford to go full-frame, you can't afford to go from good to great
7. You can't afford to throw away 60% of the frame
8. A cropped sensor is like drinking lite beer
9. If God had meant you to shoot cropped sensors, she wouldn't have invented 35mm film
10. Ansel Adams never would have used a cropped sensor
11. You can't get a shallow depth of field on a cropped sensor
12. If you can't tell the difference, it isn't there

So I’m thinking these are true beliefs. Except for the last, of course.

Ah, I remember the joke. Sorta. Something like this:
All of Mormanism was delighted to learn today that the second coming was upon us. And it happened in Salt Lake City! There is only one slight problem: She’s black.
Ok, racist and religious bigot all wrapped in one. Have at it!

Can't wait for the rant about M4/3! Sounds like a good case for owning a FF to me.
Maybe someone is getting coal in their Christmas stocking this year? LOL

Great list! Yeah, they're pretty much all myths. But camera vendors are okay with you believing any of them.
We live in a new era of higher image quality than we have ever had before. It's really hard to buy a new bad camera these days, unless you're buying a Holga or a Diana or something similar.
(Guess I better duck to avoid 120 film spools bouncing off my bald spot!)
