Jacques Pepin omelette omelet

Here's a more accessible analogy: Here is Jacques Pepin making an omelet in 2 ways: ▶ this video You can see every motion, every measure, the size of the flame, there are no cuts. But if you actually go ahead and try to make this it turns out to be INCREDIBLY difficult to get it right. Not every random mish mash or scribble is as random as a layperson will at first think. The other analogy is look at the original post. Picasso COULD have painted like he did at 15 or 18 or 20 - which I assume you would agree you couldn't scribble yourself. But he CHOSE to paint in the style you are criticizing. You should default to assuming that there is more skill to it than you can see.

Watch this, incredibly simple method that made me actually like omelettes. (I hated them growing up) ▶ this video "Really good" is subjective. It's the very notion something is possible and that you can do it that I see as valuable. Practice makes perfect, nothing can be perfect the first time you learn it.

His omelette video is also great. Shows the difference between a "country omelette" and a classic French omelette. I like that he denies one is superior to the other. ▶ this video
