Huh!? OK, Mike doesn't need defending by me, but how on Earth did you manage to draw that conclusion from what he wrote? Mike wrote about how people prefer to speculate and conjecture, rather than gathering facts. They'll use opinion, heresay, or myth as the basis for their own decisions, rather than actually putting a lens to the test, doing a small study, or otherwise try to find some factual basis. Sensitometry falls under gathering facts. As opposed to, say, using split-filtering Multigrade fibre developed in Kodak developer, and bleaching each print because that's what Famous Photographer X was reported to always do.
