This is your subjective point of view.
"STEP FOUR: This is the most difficult step. Import your file, edit, copy, paste. It may be difficult at first but hang in there fellow spriters!"
Making sprite movies isn't spriting.
Actually, your whole argument about "how drawing is much better than sprites" doesn't make much sense; artists can draw their sprites, just like you draw in Flash. Drawing and spriting have something in common: they both need skills, don't you agree?
So, if I have explained myself correctly, you fail at being both an artist and a philosopher, because you didn't consider sprites like "art".
Any questions?
