HEY!! I'm not a "he" or an "it": I'm a SHE. [See:
http://www.geocities.com/conniesunday/ ]
If someone were interested in taking violin or viola lessons,(as
happens pretty much daily to me) how would you feel if I talked to you
as if you were a complete, blithering idiot, lucky that I even deign to
speak to you? Not very professional, not to mention unkind and
counterproductive and unprofessional. (Do you get paid for what you
do? -- I do. Substantially)
Everybody can't be an expert at everything. Can you play Brahms or
write chamber music or teach children to play an instrument? Do you
have a broad knowledge base in western art music, art, and literature?
Do you read several languages and do research in all of them? (I
suspect my Finnish friend will say yes, but his writing in English is a
bit stiff and stuffy.) You can't be a Renaissance person if you prize
your own discipline and denigrate all the others.
