Me saying a frame builder may have lost talent as he aged is no more accurate or correct than you saying a frame builder hasnt lost it.
My point is, nobody realy knows who built what and who didnt. The publics perception is solely based on fact (what we know of it), conjecture, rumor and speculation.
You didn't say he "may have," you said "knowing that Ugo brazed throughout his career is scary." That's unwarranted, IMO, unless you have more to go on. It over-presumes. If there are some "in there 40's" who "don't have it anymore," why isn't it "scary" that Richard Sachs is still brazing? Answer: it's not, without making assumptions, and you know it.
