Speaking without experience

It's an interesting phenomenon participating on some internet fora. Each and every one has a certain demographic and how you need to engage needs to be different.One of the ones I've been on recently is the l-camera-forum that, unsurprisingly, talks about Leica cameras.The thing with Leica is that even though I'm sitting here 43 years old I'm the young one in this particular group. I would hazard a guess that the average age of the participants is in the 60s. (meta: I tend to hang out with older folks, just how I'm wired I guess)The thing is that the older generation, especially the peeps on this forum, seem to be non-tech. Frankly, it takes a bit of an investment to get into the Leica habit. There's a good mix of doctors and lawyers combined with the rest of the photography crowd. What comes as a natural technical analysis of a problem comes off as more of a conjecture than an analysis. "That's not what Leica said during their press event." You can never let marketing get in the way of engineering.Oh well...I suppose this all comes back to my trying to be dispassionate with ideas. You can have a cool idea, but if someone has some better thought, well... you just move on.I still like the M10, BTW.  :-)
