 Anyway, there's only a tenuous GG connection, now fully explored, so can

No, you're not the only one to feel this way. I'm really sick of reading
about this no-talent faker. This is a Gould list. Perhaps there's a list for
discussion of the no-talent Cage.
It is reminiscent of an exhibit I saw in the Denver Art Museum; a white
canvas with a single line drawn vertically in pencil. People were oohing and
ahing over it while peeking at everyone else to make sure they were having
the "right" reaction. Tell the public that something is "cool and innovative"
and some of them will swallow it, no matter how absurd it is.
Hey, the emperor has no clothes....
