The third time's the charm they say.

I think that this is ridiculous. I think there's nothing productive in that at all. I hope tore feels patient enough to deal with you, because I don't like this kind of derision followed by hypocritic excuses.
Moving back to the topic, I think tore said some useful stuff concerning evolution and the changing abilities and capacities of the human brain. To add to his argument I'd like to say specifically that the capacity for creativity and hence ingenuity demonstrated in music is exactly the same as the capacity for invention, engineering and the desire for inquiry, hence from an evolutionary perspective the humans with larger creative capacity would be "fitter" (using tore's words), and if so more likely to pass on that capacity in it's DNA.
