I would make a distinction between type recognition and type knowledge. The ability to recognise a typeface I think, is less important than knowing when to use the most appropriate. Measurements are the same, just several ways to divide the one mass. I welcome OpenType because I feel it will empower the type designer, make the craft less mechanical. And if it means that a type designer does't get ripped off, theft is theft, I'm all for it.
