Yup, he was a marketing genius, and all that know-how went into making a vodka that tasted like burning urine but appeared as though it must have rained down from heaven... at least to the gullible masses with money to burn and dinner guest

He makes an interesting point. I'd like to hear him address the other side of it too though: What about people who have good taste but won't actually be capable of producing work that meets their high standards even after trying for a decad
