I get we have different interpretations of humour, but my not being able to "get" your jokes doesn't make mine any less valid than yours.

You totally missing the point after my explaining it led me to giving you a hard time. Sorry that it was a little harsh for you, I'll be nicer next time.

You're really grasping at straws if this is really all you have to go on to claim that it isn't music. I could go and tell musicians which notes to play out of a song I thought up, but it's a lot easier to put it on paper and show it to them. What does it matter if there's an alternative? The route that Cage went was not the one you propose, the compositional route.
