There's a "rule" somewhere that states "if you want expand some part of your life, it will pushback on others." I suppose we want to chime in and reveal our version of "the greater good", "a balanced life" and where to place our priorities.
Nicely said. I think the exact same impulse motivating people to read the Rorschach test that this story presents also crops up in those debates about whether audio is "only about the music" or also about "the technology and sound." The answer is, of course, subjective but people like to argue it as if there was only one, objective answer.
