I agree, although my point was that some people just want to have fun doing something, their goal isn't necessarily to get really good at it or to do it correctly. Many prefer doing things their own way rather than the right way, so they might not like being constantly told what they should do.
People who are learning an instrument are arguably at their most creative in fact because they don't know the right way to use the instrument. As they become more proficient it seems they "fall in line" and naïveté and serendipity go by the wayside.
This is so true, as soon as I started learning more music theory I felt that my creativity went down as I started recognizing chords/progressions and I feel slowly getting stuck trying to play by the rules.
No shit. I said, 'most people are not so bad at figuring this out'.
You're conflating an approach to niche skill development with jerks who don't know how to behave in public. They're not the same thing, and again, most normal people seem more than capable of figuring this out.
