You don't think they're making incredibly textured reads most are incapable of intellectually, or too lazy to manufacture? Fair enough. I think so.
Of course I think they're making consistently good, occasionally great reads. I don't think, for the most part, they're reads you and I couldn't make. Although, I agree with you that most people (myself, too often) are too lazy to do so. I should've put "an insane level of focus" on my list of pro attributes.

Aren't we?
I don't think so. If I played Phil Ivey heads up 10 times (online, that is--he would scare me too much live), I might take one or two off him, and not just b/c of lucky cards. If I played Garry Kasparov ten times, or 1000 times, he would hand me my ass every single time.
