Maybe I didn't use the right words, Charlie, because I certainly agree with what you said. "Telling the story" isn't just sitting down and rattling it off -- it involves a lot of performance skill. Perhaps it whether one does it with heart?

What you said also is making me think that I might be confusing some of my personal prejudices with "good taste" in general(Just like a lot of those English philosopher types like Berkeley and Hume and Locke). Let me think about this.
