I don't think its dishonest to increase your odds of taking a picture, and sorry if this sounds rude, but I don't believe you that baiting is mainstream/necessary/all that useful. We're just going in circles so ther

So, what if a camera automatically did it for you? Would that be OK?

I would agree but its really hard to come up with a standard like that. All photographs are processed. Whether its film or digital. No camera captures reality as it exists. (Without even going into how display's can't accurately d

Yes, all software has bugs. And pretty much all modern operating systems are good. But some are better than others in much the same way as all Olympic 100m runners are fast but some are faster than others.
