idunno, maybe yours is more fitting.
I was talking about band members, which is entirely different compared to the quality of music (oh subjectivism, that wretched beast).

So, since derivatives are f'(x) = (n)x^(n-1) and ∫xdx = (x^(n+1))/n, the integral is usually higher than the original function and the derivative is usually lower. I put mine in terms of band members, so Dream Theater minus one member (and sort of disregarding the divided by n part) would equal Liquid Tension Experiment. If you put it in terms of genius, then the addition of a squared exponent would be appropriate, I suppose.
