I didn't mean that at all...I was actually addressing D's post right above mine, where he makes a point that it might not be the best idea to try to study with a top-name teacher, as most of them just won't bother with someone who doesn't plan to try their hand at being a professional, usually not out of any snobbery, but they simply don't have the time between their own performance schedules, plus their conservatory teaching schedules.
Obviously we should all strive to be the best musicians we can be!
(And I agree 110% about your last point re: performers/teachers. Several of my teachers have been absolutely amazing performers, but, IMO, left much to be desired as teachers, and the opposite is also quite true, as proven by the legacy of one Miss Dorothy DeLay.)
