My god, she must be really bad if maiming her with an icepick actually makes
her sound better.

"Does it increase _our_ performance? Definitely not. It will often change the
voicing of a chord or the timbre of a line"

Well yes, that's understandable. She's probably playing wrong notes since she
may be having some trouble reading the music...
