"It Doesn't Matter Because End User Can't Hear It" (Idiocracy in Music Production)

Why are so many producers espousing the philosophy of, "It doesn't matter because the end user can't hear it"? Have we reached a point of total idiocracy in music production? Has the community become obsessed with dumbing down music and art for the sake of "mass appeal"? In this stream we will have a passionate discussion about the consistent dumbing down of the art form and how this perspective creates an anti art environment for those participating in music production. Do you believe that the details in your music production don't matter? Do you believe that our creative decisions in the studio don't have a true impact on the listener? Let us know in the comments.
