Are Cooking Videos Making Us Better Cooks?

That's a ridiculous thing to say without saying which restaurants (or some idea of a class thereof that) you're eating in. As if any 'dummy' armed with some articles is 'always' beating 'restauraunts'.

Don't get me wrong I'm not anti home cooking or massively pro restaurant, I love cooking & food, large categories of restaurant (and especially 'restauraunt') are no longer interesting to me due to the cost vs. taste relative to what I can do, but I don't kid myself, there's plenty of places I can eat the food of professional cooks and be impressed, inspired, enjoy it, find it good value; especially with company. And without touching the Michelin guide.

FWIW, I suspect your comment is getting downvoted because of the nasty tone, not because of the larger point your making.

Thanks, I try my best not to make assumptions about tone when reading comments, because it's not well conveyed in text. I did my best to quote " 'dummy' " for example, to allude to 'for dummies' texts rather than to describe the commenter I replied to as such. On re-reading myself though, probably that was still misunderstood.

As for writing comments, it helps not to worry about internet points :).
