I'd venture to say that it takes much more then just details to separate an amateur from a master. Knowledge of theory, an eye for errors big and small, etc. Maybe the details separate the good from the best?



Well, he didn't say "Details are necessary and sufficient to separate an amateur from a master," now did he?


Oh good, I am right...

My point was that the ONLY thing that was listed was details being the separating point, and that there is more to it then that. It wasn't meant as a quip just a clarification, if anything a question even, not requiring a snarky answer but maybe a genuine one. But, I forget, I'm on the internet and snarky is everyone's default for whatever reason.


No I'm pretty sure I'm snarky in real life. It's a problem.

Basically "I completely agree with you, but wish to do so in a humorous and sarcastic manner." Apologies.
