That's most likely the result of not having any formal education in photography, where usually, the first thing explained is that a good print usually takes at least 3-4 hours to make, and sometimes more.
I expect to make some practice prints before getting the right overall exposure, but I don't expect to spend hours dodging and burning.

There's no camera shake.... It's a rangefinder on a tripod...
If the exposure is long enough for water to move, its long enough for a camera to move.
Rangefinders on tripods can shake too.

I shot this specifically for this thread, there's no camera shake....
I read this PHD thesis centered around soft focus lenses a while back. http://hdl.handle.net/10023/505
It was a very interesting walk through many of the technological changes in photography (photography's syntax) and how what we have preferred has changed along the way.
The chase of/debate about the benefits of one photographic characteristic over another has been going on a long, long time.
One of the many interesting concepts in the thesis is that as resolution and sharpness increased the need for retouching and manipulation increased. Soft focus lenses were in large part developed to address the issue of too much sharpness.
In the same way the sharpness of the lenses Stone uses on his Mamiya 7 are simply à la mode rather than a definitive answer.
By the way Stone, before you start drooling over the high resolution of albumen paper understand that you would need to make it from scratch and it would require developing your negatives differently.
Edit (can't resist the next paragraph)
how does this prove thatI shot this specifically for this thread
?there's no camera shake....
No, but it can be useful. This is not a bad thing per se, but autodidacts often have misconceptions based on assumption due to lack of fact based knowledge.Formal education in photography is not always necessary
a print can take as long or short as you want just like an exposure.
some people make endless spot meter readings, some just sunny 16 ,,
a print can be just a test strip or 2
and lights on
evaluate then the print ...
or it can be lots of contact prints
a proof print then burn dodge , map then final print
either way can be good
Rotary
I don't doubt you on this, but I find this somewhat sad and so will simply admit that I'm more interested in making prints that I like than making prints that are good....
There are empirical measures to what a good print is, and never forget that good and liked are not the same thing.
Where's the non-rotary "control" picture?
How does price affect the sturdiness of a tripod?a $500 sturdy tripod planted in the snow

If it was properly planted, it should start growing in the Spring.
I have to disagree here, unless you are working with SPT in a process lab, a good print takes hours to make. In BW often much longer then color.
