>The fallacy is in the belief that "photography" is solely defined by the simple act of capturing an accurate representation of reality. I wish I could upvote you twice. I never understand this mentality. And then on the same side people love the ultra-generic over-saturated tone-mapped HDR with 10-stop ND filter of a creek stuff you see on the explore page of Flickr every day. It's probably too much to ask of people who aren't photographers though. I can't blame people for thinking this way when the entire camera upgrade cycle is based on always more resolution and color accuracy. It's easier for companies to sell cameras this way.
