Yeah see, that’s not how it works.

I hire a con­trac­tor to build me a house be­cause I don’t know how to build one, and learn­ing how to build a house from start to fin­ish, top to bot­tom would take me far more time than I have avail­able. I need a house built for me right now. And even then, I might just end up not be­ing very good at it af­ter I have spent the time to learn.

But I’m not go­ing to hire a con­trac­tor based on things like charis­ma or charm, no mat­ter how ex­cit­ed I am at the prospect of the big gor­geous house he claims he’s go­ing to build for me. If I ask him how he plans to build my house and how much it will cost and tell him I want to see the specs, and he brush­es me off and says I don’t need to wor­ry about all that, it only dis­tracts from the idea of the house and he’ll fig­ure it out as he does along, LOL I’m not hir­ing that dude to build my house.

If I at­tend a pi­ano con­cer­to and the per­son can’t even bang out Chop­sticks with­out to­tal­ly fuck­ing up, I don’t need to be able to play the pi­ano bet­ter than that per­son to know they’re ter­ri­ble at it.
