    That was beautiful. And it's strangely freeing to see my not-hotness explained so scientifically. No disputing diagrams like that; might as well accept it.

    You really can't dispute big diagrams, can you? I take this as a lesson in my teaching and presenting research. Big diagrams = no questioning your wisdom. I think I could go far with this idea.

    And Etta, thanks for the link!

    Just one problem. All it needs are scholarly references with footnotes/endnotes and it would totally make "Perspectives of New Music." N'est pas?
