Of course there are people who don't care, and of course it is the image that counts (but it really should be well printed no matter what the process including inkjet), but I think we have a responsibility to educate those who are willing to listen.

Yeah, maybe.  But I feel like I do that all the time as I'm sure we all do.  In the end, though, it really is the image that counts.  If your process gets you to a final compelling image, that's terrific-- but not many people (in my experience) want to know about how you actually got there.   And I'm okay with that..  I think.
