The limitations of the time now is a nice excuse of aerie and confusion of an illusion.
Not that i dont see your point which is true and i agree with it :),
but sometimes defending some techniques from back then that might was an accident or limitation, can sound defensive just of the sake of originality..
Well the final result isnt that it counts? :D
Its like something we say here: It didnt just happened..It just succeeded..
