The latest thread indicates that this group has two factions. One is
interested in music, the other in musicians. (could be painting, and
painters, dancing and dancers, singing and singers etc)

I know this is a simplification, but what say?

I don't see it as music vs. musicians.

I see it as the "formally trained" (meaning European, Western-music trained)
seeing the musical world in excessively narrow terms.

I wonder what Ravi Shankar would have to say?
