It seems to me that he is setting out that EVERYONE MUST feel this way. My suggestion was that the above statement is less, well, dictatorial and dogmatic if stated as a personal one along the lines of, "I (BD) have trouble using the 135mm frame-line" or as a general statement along the lines of, "some folks have trouble using the 135mm frame-line". As the statement stands, it sounds as if BD is stating that the above is the ONLY acceptable way to view the 135mm frame-line. And, from this dogmatism, I dissent.
