I have no doubt that they are. My perceptions of bonsai are more refined and subtle than they were years ago when I started my bonsai adventure. I consider that additional refinement and subtlety to be "better." I am therefore a better beholder than I was earlier. Part of this development comes from paying attention to the opinions of skilled and acknowledged experts in the field, when I am fortunate enough to receive them. This doesn't mean that you and I couldn't have a rollicking good argument down at the local bonsai-ists' tavern. The paths are various.
Cheerfully,
Barry
