Puzzling, there are over 6 billions people on the planet. When you say most, I assume you've asked all of them right?
Or is it better to make each frame count, to take care etc... And then find out that the better ones are those where there wasn't that much attention put into it?

I guess it depends on where one is coming from.
Digitally speaking, I have known wedding photographers that shoot 11,000 frames in a single day (12 hours) of shooting.
I am serious.
Is this photography? I don't know the answer to that.
I do know that I could, essentially, get similar results using a video camera and then capturing frames from the video after the fact.
Convert that same amount of frames into film. That's about three hundred and six rolls of thirty-six frame film.
It suddenly becomes extraordinarily cost restrictive to shoot that way.

Actually, it seems that this is were we are headed. When digital camera will have burst modes close to video frame rates and high quality optics / sensors, you will just to place yourself in a spot with your desired composition than record. Once back home, you will be able to extract the "decisive moment".
Scary but not too far away from us.

Yes indeed. I had seen this one. I also read an article in a magazine (a French one, can't remember which one) about a fashion fotographer that was basically talking about that : the ability to extract picture out of a video for pro use in a soon future. I said technology was not quite ready yet, but expected it in the coming years.

At least we can expect to see lots of pictures on flickr of exploding water balloons and liquid sloshing out of glasses while we wait for the perfection of the technology.

whom I had in mind:
There are clichés about artists who are "passionate and inspired" and are shown be it in comedy or in serious films being in the final stages of terminal lunacy. Yes it's the same with designers.
And sadly many (not most you're right) people I met really beleieve that stuff. I worked as a comedian and as a licensing consultant in IT and it's always interesting to have the creative process explained by an IT-Sales Boss (and business life by owners of theatres or comedy clubs.)
Good examples are films like "Fur" with N. Kidman as Diane Arbus and "Modigliani" with Andy Garcia as Amedeo Modigliani.......There you have the conception of "Passion and Inspiration" served to many whereas most people are rather very passionate in finding means to survive

Photography by nature is 'in the moment'. The Greeks gave hierarchy to the arts, with music being named the queen because it took place in time.
Much of this hierarchy is based somewhat on the involvement of time as well as the poetic strengths of the media itself, that is, its ability to convey an emotion or multi leveled message with sublime simplicity.
Photography is different than painting in that the time spent observing the work is less important than the time creating it.
