Ah, well, there we have it again, two points of view that will never get connected <img src='http://forum.photozone.de/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='

Please don't get too emotional.
The point studor tries to make (rightly so IMO) is that Fred missed a shot because he struggled with a camera's feature. A feature that he, being an experienced photographer, certainly shouldn't need to get a shot.
If this was an important shot he missed, it's a major fail in my eyes (on his side, not Nikon's). If it wasn't, it's not a big deal, right?
There is of course a difference between "fully in focus" and "enough in focus". A camera like the D800 will force you to focus carefully to have the main subject exactly in focus, even when doin landscape work. In a classic landscape shot, you will not manage to have everything in the frame perfectly sharp. Nonetheless, for typical usage, studor's approach will deliver results that a no doubt sharp enough.
Andrew (studor) is a pragmatic guy that doesn't live at the pixel level <img src='http://forum.photozone.de/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' />
