You keep saying he was inept, or obsessive about trivial details; even saying I have Kubrick genius blinders.
But you can't argue with the results of his process. He's literally the GOAT. It's not close.
The idea that everyone has to take things easy, or that you can get the same results without some amount of obsession, is not borne out by reality - because no one has come close.
If I'm wearing blinders for saying so, then so is every respectable film critic of the last how many decades... Weird that we all love wearing those "blinders", when all those "tiny differences" were "unimportant".
Details matter, and a little respect for other people's process is in order, especially when they're widely known as the actual best ever.
If someone can't see why Kubrick is the best, I can't respect their eye. Same as I can't respect the ear of a musician who thinks the Beatles were overrated.
