Ah so kind of like a “I can do it better” attitude? That works!

Yes and no.

If a 12" ruler were the current measuring stick for media, I think a lot of our story content is hitting around 5 or 6. We have widely accepted writing guidelines that will land you around an 8 if you adhere to them, but there are obviously great storytellers out there that surpass that.

I'm not aiming for a 12, but I do strive for more than an 8, which benchmarks our agreed upon standards. If I provide meaningful story experiences, it will serve to inspire others to strive for the same marks.
