The Compassionate Cynic posits this thought experiment:
A female violinist, having suffered her share of being bumped about by the ominous Classical Music Industry is forced out onto the streets to become a busker.
Whilst applying her virtuostic talents a male bystander flicks a ten dollar note into her case, leans close to her and whispers "Only because you're beautiful".
Possible conclusions can be drawn from this scenario:
1. The man is incapable of appreciating all forms of beauty.
2. The musical talent of the violinist is in question.
3. Busking is more profitable with good looks.
4. A value can be placed on any aesthetic endeavor.
5. The man is a sexist pig.
6. The man is a passionate philanthropist.
7. The violinist receives a boost in self-confidence
8. The violinist is mortally offended
