It seems to me that this is an important realisation.

Suppose a significant number of us decided that number 2 sounded French (but
was in fact English); and a significant number of us decided that number 3
sounded German (but was in fact American); and a significant number of us
decided that number 1 sounded American (but was in fact Italian)....then that
would argue for the reality of a consensus on national sound groupings, even
though we were *all* wrong about the individual players.

Bear this in mind, Dan.
