Follow up/response to post about B&W photography vs color.

This post is for Photo 217:
If a picture is bad i.e. the composition sucks, it's out of focus, etc.. changing it to black and white does not fix it. It simply becomes a bad picture that now has no color. The editing process should never go: "Oh this picture sucks, so i'll just put it in black and white." Now, I don't know what the criteria should be for black and white, I think if we give it a hard and fast rule that takes away some of the creative nature, or freedom rather. This probably seems like a 'duh,' I just wanted to follow up on my previous B&W post and respond to other posts regarding this subject.
