Lightroom Hidden Processing

"a lot of you might be wondering WTF I’m ranting on about"

yup. sounds like he is talking about develop presets applied on import?
No, he's talking about the "zero settings"... but everything he is doing gains you nothing. You could just pull contrast and bump shadows/blacks to get to the same (crappy) point.

A more relevant point would probably which camera profile you choose to start from.

The thing that amuses me is he provides examples of two so-called "Neutral" developers, each of which shows a completely different rendering of the image.
So just what does "Neutral" mean?

Who cares what the starting point looks like anyway, if you are going to apply your own adjustments.
