Naw, there's at least one thing worse.

That being, of course, folks with relatively little experience
giving [incorrect] one-size-fits-all advice with a degree of 
certainty that would lead you to believe the information was
received directly from the mouth of Jesus.

An awful lot of folks apply more religion than common sense and
experimentation with regards to what they put on their feet.

Er -- these guys are photographers, and largely student
photographers who are vacationing in Arizona.

If you've intended to demonstrate that visiting photographers
wear all sorts of footgear while in Arizona, er, yeah, you've
done that.
