All well and good.  My objection to Zukerman's statements in the Fanfare
article had nothing to do with his instrumental preferences.  It was the
total lack of respect he displayed for HIP.  He attacked its foundation,
motivation, skill level, and just about any other facet he could think of.
It was as if he was conveying the theme, "my way or the highway".
