The analogy I use most frequently: You are sitting in your living room,
looking out the window, and realize that the window is dirty. So you
get up and clean the window. Now, the wife comes along and points out
that the yard needs to be cut. It isn't the wifes fault, and it isn't
the windows fault, that you can now see that the lawn needs work. It
needed the work before you could see it.
The hi def TVs are good enough to show you what trash you have been
watching. It isn't the TVs fault.
