Sorry, 'Molecatcher's whatever', you've lost me!

I can't see the connection between understanding that something is technically difficult (but not being moved by it) and short attention spans.

I could quite happily sit through a good singer's performance of a 10 minute ballad and be totally bored by a 3 minute 'virtuoso' performance by a four part harmony group accompanying themselves on violins, bongoes and nose flutes (some evil little gremlin would be muttering in my ear, "just because you can, doesn't mean you should!").
