In general, I agree that audiences are less sensitive to quack and similar artifacts than some musicians.

However, I don't think that there is a monolithic 'audience' that has one response to everything. I think that is an oversimplification that doesn't do an audience or the player justice.

At least with my audience, there can be a wide variety of experiences. Often they don't have the vocabulary we AGFers have - but some clearly 'hear' a lot more than we expect.
