You are missing the point: shooting more / working the scene --> gives a
better chance of getting the worthwhile results.

Why is there even an argument? Sure, no one should try to take meaningless,
loser shots, but even with the best techniques, best eyes, etc., shooting
more frames, especially under most circumstances, would mean potentially a
higher hit rate.

I am beginning to think that LUGGERS love to argue - for argument sake. No,
we do not. Yes, you do, no, do not, do. DO NOT. Certainly do.
