give me a break. why should people have to be literate in electronics to enjoy them? you are a rarified person, the very fact that you have posted on an HD blog show that you interest and knowledge is far and away superior to the general consumer when it comes to electronics.
i suspect there are things you don't know a lot about, perhaps fine wines, maybe car repair -- who knows -- what seems like commons sense to the sommelier or auto mechanic is beyond your laymen's grasp of the field. i don't where your knowledge isn't of expert level, perhaps you are a great mechanic and have a 5,000 bottle wine cellar, what i'm quite sure of though if you had spent thousands on something only to be disappointed in the result, the last thing you'd want is for an "expert" to ridicule you.
personally, while i understand the differences between 720p, 1080i, etc... i find them obtuse and overly technical.
I get where you're coming from, but there's a problem with your theory. If I were to make *any* $1000 purchase, I would research it heavily. Ask people who know, ask your friends, use the Internet. If I had to buy $1000 worth of wine for some odd reason, I sure as heck wouldn't just plunk it down on any wine. When I have to take my car to the shop, I ask friends who are mechanics for advice. Most people are just lazy and/or ignorant.
“Getting too close completely blurred what we saw to the point of incomprehension, but again, this shows a whole heap of potential that's fascinating to us.”
