I read this SHORT article this morning and it struck me as being appropriate to pool and the problems of Joe Public not really understanding what s/he is seeing when watching the great players.

Can mediocrity appreciate greatness?

"Often it is lamented that greatness is dead. We are told that people yearn
for it, wish to see it before them, dream of it. But is greatness something
that most people can appreicate? Or is greatness something recognized only
by the few? What would you do if you found greatness before your eyes? I
ask because it is not self-evident. Perhaps you would appreciate it, admire
it and bless that moment where you were allowed to see it, to experience
it. And then again perhaps you would simply walk on by oblivious to its
existence. On an early, chilly Friday morning the rushing commuters at the
L'Enfant Plaza metro station, in Washington DC, were scurrying to work. As
they came up the escalator they could hear the music of a violin wafting,
echoing through the halls, bouncing and reviberating with an unusual
richness. It would be almost impossible to ignore the notes dancing about
their ears. But ignore them they did." (04/11/07)
