MichealK, fossil fuel is important but your focus may be too narrow. I want to know the choreographer not the dance. Perhaps it is that a little but of paranoina helps to fill an idle day. Its a bit like ID cards, I don't trust the watcher.
I agree with your second statement and I think that he has done good.

Ted, it depends what supposed being narrow: the best choreographer realises nothing if no music, appropriate stage and staff available to deploy.

The best of personal convictions is not synonymous to the rightest way things are going factually.

And stillness is a part of the dance.

Whispering Ted, oh, definitely, stillness is a part as the rest was acquired.

I concur. The blank canvas exists before the picture, the silence before the song and stillness before the dance.
