Aaaahh, such a horrendous discussion...quality vs quantity. Impossible really, but it clearly states we still have a world to convince there's such a thing as getting it right. Silly me to think we've come a long way since the original Spartacus et al. We just may, yet the rest of the world is still submerged in blissful ignorance. My stomach turns considering the truth in the 'couldn't care less as long as the spectacle's good' thought. There somehow doesn't seem to be a grey area anywhere, just black and whites. You spend a lifetime trying to get it right because YOU consider it important, as in any hobby. And 'commercial' has just turned ugly...Shake & Bake groups pop up all around and demand their slice of the cake, worst of all they actually get it! A sign of the times.
Nonetheless, no reason to give in for the true of heart, just more reading to do, more effort to put in and keep up the good work!
