I am reminded of a quote I read in an article about Celibidache. He was
asked what he thought of von Karajan...he supposedly said something like,
not very good. Someone then replied, but he has made so many recordings
and they have sold so many copies. He then replied, they also sell lots of
Coca-Cola...does that make it a great drink?

Or as another friend of mine once put it, do we always elect the best
person to be President?
