I did not mean to imply all people are that way if I did so, merely that the trend in our culture at the very least is that way.
I understood you but didn't reply very clearly; I was saying that I don't think that our culture is trending this way. I would be very open to evidence saying that it is, but I think Economists have shown that our perceptions of how the larger world is changing is hit or miss, so I don't want to accept that our culture is changing that way without seeing a good bit of data on the topic. With that said, you could very well be right; I'm simply hesitant to accept this.
My saying I can't think of a great open Par 5 is a far cry from saying good open holes can't exist. Obviously they can and do. IMO the enormous majority of them are Par 4's however.
This idea is intriguing. What, in your mind, makes this true? In other words, what differentiates an open par 4 from an open par 5 (other than length) that makes the majority of good, open, multi-shot holes par 4s instead of 5s?
