I think your missing the part about it being relative to our time.
So had Metallica...and we all know how that turned out for them.
Metallica cut their hair.
Then they went on a rampage against napster.
Then the quality of their music started to suck.
But the biggest problem? They cut their hair.
Rockers have long hair. Anything else is just posing.
Cutting the hair isn't an issue...Bruce Dickinson not only cut his hair, but went on to get his commercial pilot's license to fly a Boeing 757. He flew the plane on the last couple of world tours that Iron Maiden did.
You don't see these kinds of punishments for other white collar crimes, do you?
Oh, I dunno...how about 150 years.

Here you go, here's your citation
The funny thing is that film (negative, not slide) has *more* dynamic range and exposure latitude than digital. Getting differing subjects exposed correctly is mostly in the lighting, which has always been possible.
Way easier said than done.
Sure film has a fantastic range, but pulling highlight detail and shadow detail has always been difficult in the final print. If properly exposed, all of that detail is in the negative, but getting them to both look good in the final print has never been an easy task, still photography or motion picture.
For still photography, the trick was in the darkroom where you could dodge and burn. In pre-digital, pre-photoshop, the approach was referred to as "expose for shadow, develop for highlights." In camera, the photographer would expose for the shadows, while in the darkroom, develop for the highlights. In a wedding portrait, for example, it would also include dodging the wedding dress to keep it from getting blown out, and burning the tux to try and get more shadow detail.
Such tricks were not available to motion picture, so they generally try and balance it in camera with a bias to highlights so they don't get blown out.
Work without a vision is slavery, Vision without work is a pipe dream, But vision with work is the hope of the world.
