We disagree on a lot of stuff, but I always look forward to reading your posts!
I believe that is because we have different goals and interests in our gun hobbies. Nothing wrong with that and you have a lot of good contributions. I think the difference in perspective brings value to the discussions most of the time.
The older Lee stuff was definitely a lot of junk; I have a number of their older molds and they took a fair amount of stoning and tuning to cast well, but the new stuff is a lot better. I still expect to remove a burr from each cavity and degrease them thoroughly, but to be honest I've done the same thing with other higher end aluminum molds too. For some reason the 2 cavity Lee molds seem to be lower quality though; I only buy the 6 cavity versions if they are available now. Also some of their bullet designs are junk, but that 200gr SWC .45 is a good one, as is the little 95gr RF for 9mm (unusual 9mm choice but it shoots really well).
