Everybody watches television, which means that everybody considers themselves a kind of authority on the subject of broadcast design.

The TV people are professionals at delivering eye-balls to advertisers. Their game is "getting Alan to watch more TV than he actually enjoys". My game is limiting my TV watching to the stuff that makes me happy. I am an amateur at this.

After about 40 years on the losing side of professional versus amateur fights, I gave up and got rid of my TV. This has worked out very well.

You could spin this as saying that I do respect the superior skills of professionals, at least when they are the enemy.
