That having been my comment, I will endeavor--well, I'll say something, anyway--

There are many in this world who are oblivious to the idea that achievement requires effort.

They think that people fortunes fall out of the sky, and that you just have be in the right place at the right time. They believe that all you have to do is sit down at a typewriter and you're the next Shakespeare, that anyone can be a movie star, and that people just pick up instruments and play them--and so they keep looking for an instrument that requires no practice, no discipline, and no particular talent.

I know these people are out there, because I've had many of them come to me for music lessons. They tend to show up with either really cheap or really expensive instruments, they want to "learn guitar in one week", or day, or in their sleep, and they never practice.

Nowadays, they buy casio keyboards and Band-ia-a-Box, go online, or just play "Guitar Hero", but in the golden ages past, they bought ukelins and autoharps and fretless zithers from travelling salesman, fiddled with them for a couple days, and then stuck them under the bed.
