Different strokes.
Do you like painters less who mix colors? Or use a trowel? Do you reserve
your disrespect for those who use flung paint? Does it lessen your respect
for Rembrandt (or was it Michaelangelo?) because he hired a specialist to
paint the clouds?
Is "Abbey Road" crummy because they overdubbed?
Are Formula 1 racers more worthy of respect if they don't tune the tire
pressures to the track temperature and moisture?
Is President Bush less of a leader because he hired a campaign manager?
Does it lessen "Sweet Baby James" to know it was written for a newborn
nephew? Does it ruin figure skating to think about the hours of practice
since it means they didn't invent the dance on the spot?
Is making love for the second time in your life less fun because you know
how it ends?
