Thats a pretty crappy attitude.
Tim McCulloch is 100% correct.
When I sometimes am tired, or feel a little sick, on the very high notes I may sing further from the mic, at the price of a weaker sound, but that's because I know I cannot reach those high notes at my best. That's my chosen dynamic to hide a vocal problem. 2 Hours later, my voice maybe more warmed up, or just warmer, and I may no longer need to do that.
I do sound from stage, and have been doing it since 1977, but it would drive me crazy if somebody exaggerated compression settings, and screw up the dynamics I created in purpose, by increasing output on rough notes, that I was trying to soften to begin with.
If all else is fine, like monitoring and mix, most pros are fully aware of how they want to project their singing.
Most of us here completely fail to see where you get the "crappy attitude" from Tim McCulloch.
