Ultimately this just reinforces my notion that massive amounts of technical musical knowledge may bear little relation to actual musical talent. Most of my favorite musicians, as far as I could tell, possessed almost no understanding of "temperament" or "the wolf". Or perhaps they did, but I guess they never talked about it in interviews.
