I'm reading the words Mike. Not adding "for everyone", because I don't think that's what was meant. Indictment? Way too serious a word! I've been at odds with Ted more than a few times over the years, but I just don't see nefarious intent here.

Stan, we just have different experience. Most of my time spent with shotguns and shooting men involves pheasant hunting and waterfowl, and moderate weight guns. Some but not as much ruffed grouse hunting. For me and these guys, it's not easy to switch from the weight of guns we shoot often to a much lighter gun, and shooting a much lighter gun well isn't important enough to us to practice with a gun we won't shoot. Better to practice with what we use, don't you think? So, since it would require special effort to learn to shoot a light gun well, I could see myself saying just as Ted did, in what I took as a casual comment, that's it's tough to shoot guns that light. And I wouldn't mean tough for everyone.
