While I don't agree with Jocelyn, I do think I understand how her scenario
can work.  There may be a point when a piece has "the right amount" of
emotion.  Then also, any more emotion is still the right amount, but less
would be wrong.  I guess, for Jocelyn, there can never be too much emotion
in music.  But there can be too little.
