I probably agree if by "shopping lists" you mean a particular set of software, procedures or practices. My point is that people sometimes tend to develop a rather parochial view that their path is the right one and that therefore the product of any other method is somehow inferior. Throw in the fact that the value of the product itself is as subjective as art (not to mention the rather "sensitive" nature of some of the practitioners) and you get some really insane conflicts. IMO, you can take the stock Poser content and make art - certainly as much art as a crucifix immersed in urine. Admittedly, the artist did produce the urine himself so I suppose that may count as much as making your own mesh for those working in the bodily fluids genre :-)
