The Logic Off Topic list

OK, I think I found a good way to explain my point of examples which you 
don't seem to be following me on:

I could list hundreds of people I went to school with who are good examples 
that it is not a factory. But since no one on this list would ever know who 
they are (thus having no point of reference) it would be meaningless. But 
if I list someone like BT (Who's music I cannot stand) people can listen to 
his work and say 'ah yes, that definitely is someone who marches to his won 
drummer and who's music and playing aren't cookie-cutter (or factory 
like)'. Does this make things more clear? I don't like any of the people I 
listed (except Abe) so it certainly isn't an issue of me thinking they are 
great. But do you now understand that this isn't a bragging issue? If not, 
I give up, but this should clarify it even more than before. OK, I'm 
finished, not reading any more replies to this thread. :-)
