You are right of course.
Quoting Jan's remarks. Focus is critical unless there is a distinct even
definable reason to blur an image. Logos, brand names, signs are generally
held to be readable....if they play a central role to composition. Or, the
specific entity does not want there logo or sine to be seen.
A huge amount of viewers to anyone's image, likes to understand. Bike
enthusiasts as an example, love to see the bike's brand name.

Just raise your autofocus, auto exposure auto framing, auto-stitching device
without looking either through the finder or at the screen with a magnifier
and put your finger on the gorilla glass to produce a great piece of “art”
as well as the synthetic replicated sound of a Nikon F motor drive. The
Nikon F was a real camera which did not accept phone calls to distract the
photographer. <<<<
The problem with this comment, you are comparing the dedicated photographer
who takes his or her's craft seriously to those who point and shoot in an
effort to argue the point. Art (regardless of the medium in my opinion)
follows culture with only a few exceptions. Those who linger in the past
will eventually asked to leave the room.
That is of course until everyone is thoroughly bored with digital and start
going back to film, because grain and difficulty of controlling film is the
new hotness.
Just because you justified what I saw as an uninteresting image, using
polaroid more as an excuse, in no way dictates I should feel any different
about the image.

The best camera is the one you have with you ! Digital, Phone, photography
is here to stay and your beloved Nikon F, "real" film, Polaroid, Kodak,
Ilford, Kodachrome, etc., are all obsolete, or in some cases GONE. R.I.P.,
we shall not see your like again.
