I fully agree.  It proves time and again that a great photograph is in the
eye of the photographer and not in the equipment.

Too many people are obsessed with the specifications or optical performance
of a particular lens or camera rather than with the
artistry/mood/impact/message of the picture.

I have the 35/2 ASPH as well as the 35/2 non-ASPH.  The pics from the non-ASPH
lens gets my heart beating more than the ASPH ones.
