If you had really thought it interesting, it would be reasonable to assume that you had taken the trouble to think about it for more than a second or two.

But what you then write shows that you didn't either really think it interesting, or really think about it:

>> Music is an activity where we seek perfection. A very few of us (not me) come somewhere close to achieving it. Speech is an activity where we seek adequacy. Some people do indeed speak very fluently and accurately nearly all the time. But most people do not. They stumble over words, they um and err, they repeat themselves, they use the wrong word. But they manage to communicate perfectly well all the same.>>

The correct analogy here is between composing sentences and composing music. Even great composers may well stutter before producing the final versions of their compositions.

Someone trying to communicate may well stumble and repeat themselves. But in reproducing an existing sentence, most people are able.

It's the musical analogue of this ability that we're talking about.
