Edit: Dan...biz-engineer pointed out to me that you may have been referring to Ed in regards to the "30 years..." statement. English is a strange language sometimes, even for those of us who grew up speaking and writing it. Please accept my apologies.

No offence taken (I am 35 years old by the way).
Yes, I was talking about Ed post in my first comment (sorry for the misinterpretation, english is my second language).
As I said in the first place, I had K-3 II for 2 month and for me pixel shift was useless, especially for outdoor shooting. There were too much artefacts in the final image, even at the slightest movement of a leaf.
What I wanted to point out is that is not fair to compare a print that was taken with pixel shift function activated on K-3 II with a print from 6D and say that K-3 II is better for landscape. With pixel shift function activated of course K-3 II is better, but let's be fair, pixel shift is a function that is more suitable for product photography than landscape photography, at least in my opinion. If he (Ed) wanted to be fair in that comparison test he should have printed another image from K-3 II, but without pixel shift function activated and I bet you couldn't see the difference.
I own Canon 6D and I had Pentax K-3 II (and before K-3 II I had K-5 II for almost 2 years). From my point of view, 6D is a better camera than K-3 II in day by day use and even better for wedding photographers. I know I'm on Pentax forum, but this is my humble opinion based on using both cameras.
K-3 II is a very good camera, especialy for his price but I think Pentax will need at least a few years to get mature (more new lenses to be avaible, better Af performance, better flash sistem, better service, etc.).
I bought Canon 6D because there were some discounts in local stores. I paid for a new Pentax K-3 II just 813$ and for a new Canon 6D only 1.046$. It was worth the money difference in my opinion.
