In the late 1800's my granddad used to be a "market gunner" in the winter, killing geese to ship north to railroads and fine restaurants. He probably killed more geese every year than most of the members of this forum will ever see. He didn't use camo anything. The huge sky-darkening flocks of geese that were common in my grandads day are no more

Your post serves to re-inforce why camo IS effective today. "The sky darkening flocks are gone." They sure are and when you may only see one flock in a day of hunting you should take advantage of anything that will give you an edge. Otherwise, you're just wasting time.
There was no such thing as camo anything in the late 1800's. It doesn't mean they wouldn't have used it if it were available.
Punt guns were very common in that time, especially for market hunters. Not sure I'd need camo either if I were sportin' a punt gun.
Your argument against using camo for duck or goose hunting TODAY isn't very compelling to me.
