Granted it is 10x easier to mess up paint with a "high speed" buffer.
Obviously, if you use an aggressive cutting setup, you're going to get a marred surface. That's part of the beast.

That's why you follow it up with a lighter compound to take out the marring the aggressive cut creates.

I agree that it's easier for an amateur to create paint defects with a high-speed buffer, hence the popularity of many lower-speed dual action polishers. I don't understand, though, how this applies to the discussion as most of us here don't use these tools or work in a body shop.

It's very important for anyone who's thinking about paint correction to educate themselves on what buffers, pads, and compounds to use to achieve their goals. If they go at it with a brillo pad glued to a high speed makita, I assume they're going to have serious issues.
