That is a hilarious section.  Thanks.  GG had a self conscious sense of
humor that not everyone appreciated. Although it highlighted his curious
habit of being a control freak, it also allowed him to focus on the
points he wanted to make crystal clear.  It runs along the same
rationalizations he had for pulling out of live concerts.  He felt that
he could not guarantee either a perfect rendition or else it was not
possible to get the points across in a live manner, period.  Most of us
enjoy the output of his contrived machinations.  With GG's hands on the
control knobs, what we do have is quite good.
