Let's pretend I am a chef. World famous chef.
I listen to music and there is music I like very much and music I don't like. I can't read or write music and don't know a chord from a note. But I know what I enjoy and what I don't.
There is a man with an outstanding tv show about music. He and his guest are all very involved in music. He invites me to be a guest on his tv show. I decline because I do not feel I am qualified to discuss music the way they do. I am a chef, not a musician.
Later, I cook dinner for one of my favorite musicians.
Does that make me a buffon? Or a phony?
Or much smarter than a moron?
