Good thread, you're smart and know what you're doing. I don't necessarily agree with everything you said, but these are minor disagreements.
>1 - you need moar card slots
Depends on specific use case. You need two card slots if you're shooting a very unique and unrepeatable moment, like someone's wedding. What you said is true, but sometimes you can be out of luck and have a new card fail on you. Rare, but it happens. Didn't happen to me, but happened to a photographer I know. A brand new card failed. And if it happens during a wedding, and you lose an important part of your material, you're fucked and your career is over. As someone slowly going pro and being paid for my photos, I invested in a camera with dual card slots. Maybe it's unnecessary, but I sleep better when I have two card slots and two bodies on important events. It's also not a matter of IF a card will fail, but WHEN. Oh, and I wouldn't fill my cards to the brim. Usually at 90% the recording speeds slows down and the card is more prone to failure.
>2 - ETTR is an essential skill
It's an essential skill, but it doesn't need to be applied every time. In general yeah, if you don't fuck your highlights you're fine in most cases.
>3 - flash looks bad
true. skill issue.
>4 - "equivalence" and dynamic range charts are useful
you're right
>5 - lens sharpness is a bar graph
once again, you're right
>6 - color science is in your camera
it's in your camera and in your lens. Certain brands tend to go for a certain look and each brand has slightly different colors. Even when using the same lens on different mounts. It's not a big difference, though, and many people won't even notice. Especially in Lightroom era, where every photo is edited and not many people use SOOCs. Oh, also every manufacturer has a different recipe for processing RAWs to JPEGs.
