I did not read anyone saying this.  I believe I have read all the posts on 
this subject.  The post you describe may be the one that talks about the 
French head and elsewhere in the post talking about a broader subject and 
referencing those breeders who do not have a clue.  I have seen no one say 
that if you don't breed French type heads you do not have a clue.

Of Course there are.  No one said there were not.

No one is.

You always balance choices and soundness, size, type are some of the things 
you take into account.  

I have not seen anyone "condemned" for their subjective assessment of correct 
type, which others may have a different view.  I have seen condemnation for 
those who cannot learn or have no interest in learning or studying what went 
before them.  These are the clueless ones and need condemnation, because they 
have no point of reference other than their singular wants.  Chances their 
wants will not conform to what is correct.  Ignorance is not noted for 
accuracy or good work product.
