I think there's a lot more difference between a good lens and a bad
lens than there is between a good lens with a filter and a good lens
without.

I'm not arguing its a complete non-factor. I'm arguing that it is a
very minor factor. If you catch a picture of Osama Bin Laden and
Elvis riding the roller coaster together at 6 Flags, no one's going
