The parent comment asked a very valid question and I believe your third line was entirely un-necessary. I think you took it a little too personally and ironically if anyone else would have made such a comment, it would be flagged or downvoted into oblivion.

Look at it this way: if you're a musician and you're looking up to people for inspiration or advice to make great, interesting music - do you look to Kanye West or do you look to someone who failed to achieve success as a musician but then went on to become a record company executive? You look to Kanye West.

(to continue the analogy) So when a group of musicians are suddenly looking to the record company exec, it raises an interesting question: why?

It's not meant to be an attack on your character or your achievements...it's just an interesting question. Or at least, that's the way I interpreted it.

In Indian film industry a famous director called Subhash Ghai usually make eccentric movie with fantastic songs. Songs are usually made by music director and their selection as per the movie and special recommendations comes from movie director only. I think he should be given credit for better ears and selection capacity as I have seen same music directors failing horribly on other movies. So even if Subhash Ghai can not make good music by himself, aspiring music composer will always goes to him for recommendations.

I'm trying to be an objective observer here.

My text classification software marked the third line as the most authentic, most truthful line.

Huh.
