No, my statement was not entirely a fabrication of my own mind. It was fabricated based on your statement. You are predicting the future and presenting it as fact.
No I did not attempt to predict the future. Obviously, I was referring to current cameras.
Just think about it: who in their right mind would say with a straight face,
"There will never be a better upgrade in the history of photography," given the fact multiple advancements come out every year? And, by the same token, who in their right mind would
interpret anything of the sort out of a statement made regarding
the current market either?
So, as I said, your entire ramblings have been nothing but fabrications in your own mind of what was actually said.
I respect your right to believe what you wish to believe. I have no doubts that it is possible for the camera being discussed to be a wonderful camera. But, I do not present my beliefs as facts in the present and especially not when the subject is one of the future.
Actually, you did worse than that. You have wasted your time (and, even more dreadfully, my own) by arguing about something that was never actually said or implied.
In your first quoted statement above, you state that this new camera "will have no equal anywhere". How can you say it "will have no equal anywhere" and also state "but none of us has had the opportunity to actually see the results of this new camera""?
And you think that I am the one saying "silliness"?
I believe this camera will, as an overall tool, be the best camera available within the context of its target market. What I don't believe is that there will "never again" be another camera to surpass it in any way, forever more.
Therefore, if you want to be as petty as you clearly are, then in truth none of us has the right to type a word about this camera yet, nor make any prognostications in any way whatsoever, until such time as we all have either used the camera ourselves--or at least read several competent reviews about this camera, stacked-up against the other brands, under a series of rigorously-controlled tests--to where definitive statements can be made. Absent this, what we are
all doing here is giving unsubtantiated opinions, until such time as this camera is out, used, and tested.
So, yes, since we all understand that we're just "thinking out loud" here, making predictions informally, I do think you are being silly here: making up things to argue about, and splitting hairs. I really do.
When you contradict yourself as you did in your quotes above, you are showing that you are only arguing for the sake of arguing. And, as in other threads, you do this in a manner that is degrading to other people. I learned a long time ago, when someone puts other people down (degrades them), they are doing this because they lack the ability, the will, the knowledge, or the confidence to lift themselves up.
I apologize if I have in anyway degraded or offended you.
Huh? Whom did I degrade here?
If anything, you ought to read the pop-psych of your own last paragraph to yourself, while looking in the mirror.
