"Beware of Mediocrity?"
Do you have the new-gun-owners, the "Sprayers" in mind?
With their recently aquired 9 mm or .40 semi-autos, spraying bullets, with a very low target hit percentage? Mediocrity of performance.
That subpopulation in the shooting movement is growing. Agree with you.

I have to admit it. With the Public Range near the Precision Pistol range here, there are a few chuckles when we hear a 15 round burst turning money into noise.

That puts me in mind of the first time I took my Swedish Mauser out to the range. There I was, shooting respectable (for the condition of the gun and ammo) 4-ish inch groups at about 100 yards with a hundred year old iron-sighted rifle, while just next to me, there was a bunch of guys trading a brand-new SCAR between them. Their target? Water bottles at barely 50 feet away. Their hit rate? Maybe 1 shot in 10.
