Uh, Ed... are you forgetting about the other "fools" like Beethoven,
Mozart, Brahms, Schubert, Schumann, Bach et al? Were they also witless
idiot composers, hacks who didn't know anything? Gee, I wonder how come
us dummies are still playing and rejoicing in their music hundreds of
years after their deaths? Wait a second here, if they were so stupid,
ignorant and poorly trained, and I'm still playing their music....
Guess Mozart just got lucky!! Okay, I'm officially confused.
