That's the problem. As soon as you start discussing the high points and low points of someone's career, half the people reading the thread assume that you are talking about commercial success, which can be measured objectively and therefore can't really be disputed - or at least any dispute can be resolved by simply looking at the data. The other half, which includes people like myself, interpret the discussion as being about quality of output, which is of course subjective.
