Did you ever go to dinner at someone's house or a restaurant and ask what kind of knives they used to prepare the dinner?
I'll bet if I had professional knives my food would turn out much better.
You can't eat a status symbol.

No, but I did sell restaurant equipment and the high end establishments weren’t buying GE stoves!

That's my problem! I don't have a good stove.
No wonder my food tastes like I made it and not a chef.

I cannot compensate for another person’s lack of insight. Get yourself some schidty knives and see for yourself.
I know the ill effect when I’m the cook, but I’m not here to teach food prep.

I don't think Van Gogh, Picasso and Renoir had better brushes.
Actually, they might have. These not only last longer, but they might be able to do things cheaper brushes don't. If you ever have the opportunity to see Da Vinci's Ginevra de Benci painting in Washington DC, you will notice he painted almost every strand of hair. Again, the right equipment for the task.

Was also my bad for participating in one of those tangential offshoots that stem from ill conceived analogies (food tools as analogies for photo tools in this instance.)
Let’s go to a big wedding and have the cooks, the musicians, and the photo-video crew all rotate jobs ... after all, a tool is a tool, they all use tools. The clergy unfortunately can’t rotate. A bible is not a tool :-)

If we gave two people the same camera and lens, and after a week we learned only one had practiced, who do you think will be better?

My point being, why would a profession switch to newer, improved tech... if any old camera would do?

Seems to me that a person can have all the best gear, but without the knowledge of how it works and the imagination to "see" the photo before taking it, the pictures will not be wonderful (or only by accident). On the other hand, it can be challenging/impossible to take a great macro of a flea or a telephoto closeup of a far-away animal without necessary gear.
