What do you mean rarely coming out of studio conditions. Joyce and annie and howard shatz and arnold newman and ryzard horiwitz and all the most collect photographers. Man ray, nagy. The most expensive auctioned photo on the planet is retouched alla pictorialism.

No, of course not. But I think he's an important voice in the field,
and I agree with the particular maxim I quoted and like the way he
stated it.

It always *can* be of course. But the vast majority of the time it can
be better. Look at the attachment of photographers from Henry
Cartier-Bresson to Sebastio Salgado to the printer Voja Mitrovic for
somewhat more recent examples.
(The more you're working in the studio, where everything can be
controlled, the more you can if you want dispense with expert printing;
but when we're talking about art, that's rarely coming out of controlled
studio conditions.)
