I don't disagree as a general rule. It's good advice, as people tend to go a bit nuts when they discover their camera's drive mode settings. That said, the weekend I was thinking about was about 3-1/2 days of competition. A lot of that was shot in bursts due to the nature of the subject and environment (high motion sports with a lot of movement relative to the sensor plane with crappy lighting and no flash). In that situation, I'm perfectly fine with a low keep rate because I know going in that I'm dealing with a situation that's going to be tough for even modern AF sensors. Doing the same for a wedding reception or something similar would quickly become a bit of a nightmare, though.
In my personal work, that's not an issue as I shoot almost exclusively with manual focus glass (Loxia lenses, adapted glass, etc.). With focus magnification and peaking, it's very rare to ever have to reject a photo for blatant focus issues even when I'm using a lens with a razor-thin DOF at f/1.2.
My man.. you know your shit. Seems like motion photography was indeed the culprit.. tbh I did think you were a dev who (recently) took up photography and was chasing the perfect picture with a rather firm trigger finger, but it seems you can safely ignore anything I said. Happy shooting :)
