I see the point (though it is not answering my original questions or at least I have not yet understood it to that level yet). Just to make your point complete, how do you separate out performances? Is that just the presence of a large number of people? Amount of financial gain involved attributed to the said performance? I'm asking as that may be the differentiation in practice even as applied to code.
