Maybe I'm reading it wrong, but that seems complementary to Watterson's quote, not a counter to it?

- xeromal 4y agoSame. Maybe they just used counterpoint incorrectly? Misunderstanding?
- maroonblazer 4y agoOr maybe they're a musician, and are using the musical definition of 'counterpoint', where a melody is played with another melody and together they harmonize.
- dougmwne 4y agoIndeed I was using this definition of the word, and quite purposefully as there are both complementary and contrasting elements. Online discussion is biased towards the "argumentative" so sometimes it helps to break people's expectations.
- kalimanzaro 4y agoOr maybe they are a continental European, who, of American writings, appreciate mostly the rustic type-- and be stranger to usages of "kontrapunkt" outside of a high art context
