The code analogy is silly. With wine (or food) we're talking about a fundamental sense we all have. Everyone can eat and drink and either the stuff tastes good to people or it doesn't. And that's the point of the food/drink to begin with. The point of code is not generally to appeal to novices' innate sense of code aesthetics. Chef: You stupid amateurs could never appreciate my noodles! Tampopo: But people who eat noodles are all amateurs. So why make noodles amateurs can't appreciate?
