Yeah that's why I said in a certain sense. Certain notes and chords and arrangements tend to produce certain emotional responses that, while they are not universal or uniform, if deployed effectively by artists with good instincts can make them some kind of objectively more effective at what they're trying.to accomplish than less intuitive artists trying to accomplish the same thing.
That's a far cry from what homeboy is talking about but it's not nothing.
