 Re: reed strength and sound quality

Referring to the 'diving board' analogy, and acknowledging it as a gross over simplification but a bit useful, it illustrates the function of 'biting' into higher notes.
Clearly a stiffer ( higher strength ) reed would require more pressure to 'bite' onto a shorter free vibrating length of reed.
However I don't think that everyone is happy with biting, and less so with biting with more pressure.
In fact, biting is often discouraged as a concept.
So, hard guys, I still don't find a clear exposition of why hardness, beyond a necessary minimum to permit controlled vibration at the highest note, is in itself a virtue.
