"how appealing stuff out of focus is" is a tough one to win in a rational debate. Subjective is subjective, no problem there, it's just that subjectivity changes with time and experience. From what I remember, Mike Johnston coined the term relatively recently. Till then it was a feeling photographers had for their lenses/photographs. Now it's what what Superior photographers add to the list of essentials: sharpness, tonality, etc. and Good bokeh. That's all right by me, but irrelevant to feeling I'm looking for in photographs.
Sons are born to deprecate; we have to destroy the old to start the new. . . till we find out there just is.

Is there suppose to be a winner?Clearly, I think so :-)"Bokeh" is a specific term with a well-established meaning, it's part of the photographic vocabulary that adds value. "Son" here seems intent on deprecatingthe term based on a misunderstanding of what it actually means.At this point, I might start going-on about decline of society, fluoridationof drinking water, and purity of essence... so I'll just stop :-) Dana
