No problem Dennis...

Sometimes I have to make sweeping generalizations to get a point over. The trick is to not include yourself in them if you don't think it applies to you! Especially in these 'either/or' things. 'Either' you are a good player, in which case I hope you agree with me, or at least argue a counter-point from that perspective, 'or' you are not, in which case it doesn't apply (but just take offense anyway at anyone that suggests that such a person might exist! )...

I guess my only real 'talent' is to push against the boundaries of technology, and loudly complain when it breaks! I simply don't want any keyboard (arranger or otherwise) to arbitrarily restrict what I can and can't do musically, simply because the designers are too lazy to complete obviously basically good ideas. Or drop innovative features because they failed to educate and demonstrate the possibilities of new (or older) technology, and it needed better than 'average' technique to be able to use...

Is the world really getting dumber? Or do the arranger manufacturers simply make it SEEM that way?
