That is just plain wrong…and rudimentarily wrong to anyone familiar with post production from that time or simply now.

Point is, aside from people involved in the entertainment business, generally it would be wise for folks not to blindly follow personalities based on professional credentials or past reputation believing therefore that whatever spouts out of their mouths is guaranteed to be accurate, just because they talk a good talk. More importantly, this advice extends to other more critical (than choosing TVs, kitchen appliances, etc.) aspects of life, e.g. financial advisors, realtors, medical providers, etc. For instance, I know of someone who went to an ophthalmologist who is nationally, even internationally, recognized as a leader in his field of eye surgery, regularly gets invited to and speaks at medical conferences, etc. who, yet despite all that, gave extremely *cavalier* opinion regarding an option for eye surgery to a patient which then unequivocally resulted in the patient needlessly losing a great deal of visual acuity in one of his eyes due to irreversible photoreceptor cell loss.

Although the patient lost much of his eyesight, he didn’t lose any of his intelligence and no longer goes to that particular eye doctor for follow-up care. He is already out thousands of dollars, the pain and discomfort of several surgeries attempting to correct the initial stupidly proposed operation and….the loss of photoreceptor cells which he will never get back as they don’t grow back.
