Yes, it could boil down to the "diff'rent strokes for diff'rent folks" view
of things, if it weren't for this person's rather sweeping statements.
To quote a few humdingers:
"Color management is already built into everything by designers who know
what they're doing."
"Inkjet printers [...] went obsolete back in 2004."
"Don't waste any time calibrating anything; today's printers, cameras and
scanners are calibrated well enough out-of-the-box."
As they say in the old country: "mamma mia...".
