In spite of his lack of proficiency behind both lens and keyboard, he apparently has a huge audience. That's how he gets his gear.

KR has quite a good sense of humour and he's right about quite few things although he doesn't always write well enough for his message to be clear. If you interpret his article as saying you don't need to know about colour management, I think he's basically correct. From camera to computer to
printer / screen you don't need to do any manual colour management if
everything uses profiles. You don't even need to calibrate your monitor if
you trust the profiles.

Here's an example of his humour:

That's a gratuitous troll from KR, looks like it was designed
specifically to provoke DPreview forumites. He's actually
using a nearly fully colour managed workflow since he
profiles his monitor and sends out sRGB JPEG's to print(which
is what the printers want most of the time). And of course
with his notoriously lackadasial approach to colour, he
doesn't really need ICM (C'Mon, the guy likes Velvia for
shooting portraits of Caucasians)

Now he claims to have "invented the world's first dedicated digital
color-space conversion chip back in 1990".

He further claims that the vast majority of the time "You
don't need
[color profiles and color spaces]" and that he "never uses them."
