I tend to agree with you.
As hobbiests we will surely notice trouble early and will tend to make changes earlier than the beginner.
We will more than likely have a growing area for several other types of orchids and may relocate plants accordinly.
The chances that a plant in sphag with the hobbiest to die will be reduced but not eliminated totally.
