The customer? Not on your life. I get the job. If they are into name
recognition, that is their choice. It's called marketing. Because you
work with Avid, there is a perceived "quality" for whatever reason. I
have shown people what I have done with a/b roll and an Amiga Video
Toaster. They love it. And then they ask "what's an Amiga?".
As for calling some of my customers dickheads... that is your choice. I
hope you aren't as insulting to yours.
