Berg is a mature person. He certainly knows that there is no way one can fulfill everyone's expectations, and he already made it clear more than a couple of times that he prefers to produce useable stuff in his own way rather than spend much time doing partial stuff. This is the weak link on ArtRev, and it always had been. It is however the only way to produce high quality content with limited persons, as free-time activity.
He does a nice job on exploring new stuff and producing alternative looks that can be readily used. The AR crew does a nice job on producing high-quality assets that will occasionally bring the game to a high visual standard. And I do believe that Jorzi's comment is not more than sincere artistic insight. I share that point of view and do trust Berg can recognize that as well - every artist has flaws, not due to lack of skill necessariy, but because every priority shadows another. Also, good criticism is a coin, whereas it always has two sides simultaneously. Just because something can be improved it doesn't means it is bad. Fleeing from comments about our own flaws is cowardly.
I wasn't talking about Berg's models or Berg himself, or ArtRev, or anyone "cowardly fleeing". But i do believe Jorzi got the point.
But while we are on the topic of Berg, I would like to quote Shakti Gawain,
We will discover the nature of our particular genius when we stop trying to conform to our own or to other peoples' models, learn to be ourselves, and allow our natural channel to open.
And for a more general audience, I would like to quote Bill Purdin,
A measure of honest introspection is worth more than an immeasurable pile of pontification.
