  >> They need to take a basic photography class to understand noone wants an out of focus or otherwise ruined picture, no matter how great it could have been. It's not always about how technically or artistically great a photo is. Sometimes it's about an emotional connection to a photo. When I did a massive cull of my library last year, I kept quite a few admittedly bad shots, simply because they captured a meaningful moment to me.

    Where is the emotional connection to a photo larger : 1) when there's maybe couple photos available 2) when you have 4GB of the same session, with multiple burst shots. I'd even argue that having 1 photo of a certain event brings you back memories of most what happened at that certain time IF you spent it there fully - meaning not jerking around most of the time with a camera/mobile phone taking photos.

      That depends. I don't have kids, so I can't speak to that, but I do have dogs, and they're not going to be with me forever, so I am more likely to keep some sub-optimal shots. When you have small kids or pets, you often have to "spray and pray" to get a sharp shot. I know some people keep the entire burst set of shots - their prerogative. I don't, I take the best shot or two. But sometimes that "best" shot still didn't come out great, whether it be because of thin DOF (often from being forced to shoot wide open in bad light), motion blur, or a slightly missed focus.
