Oh I'm not missing the point ... I just don't understand why something done poorly needs to "look like" anything more than what it is -- namely failure (or the wrong audience). Nor how even the
appearance of pretentiousness can be based on the perceived success/failure of a given technique. It just doesn't track for me personally.
But I'm not sweating it. I've no pressing need to understand why everyone feels the way they do about everything. I have enough difficulty understanding my own thought processes at times!
