X-Trans Works Its Magic Locked

Bouvet never mentions the X-Trans in that link - only you. The impression conveyed is it's more Fuji's mirrorless design philosophy, and the lenses in his preferred shooting range, that is winning over this photo-journalist. The distinctly sub-Leica price point is stressed too. Nothing whatsoever about non-Bayer magic in the interview.

As for putting the thread to death: that arises entirely from that embarrassing force-feeding title, together with your indulging in that farcical, synthetic and tedious two-way conversation with yourself. You were trolling and faking - hijacking Bouvet's celebrated status doesn't alter that.
