My god, son, have you completely failed to grasp what was being said here? You sound like one of those "alternative" guitarists that openly eschew formal training in music due to the way it "stifles" your "inner muse" while you hack through a concert with your E string a quarter step flat and fail to think it "relevant to the moment."

We were trying to make sure that all in the room used expressive terms in the same way, which is important to those of us with gigs that are in halls and not on "M"TV, by the way.

It was a commonly known fact in those days that many people called the same timbre alternately "dark" or "bright" as NO ONE had clearly defined those terms...we were not all speaking the same language. The fact that we, for the most part, do all mean the same thing when we say that a timbre is "warm" is in part due to these types of gatherings. Go to the library and read the OLD T.U.B.A. Journals (c.'72??)and see the debate that raged over "tubists" versus "tubaists" to get a better picture of what I am talking about. Quantifying and qualifying are part of our field as much as putting direction in a phrase (which needs to be quantified and qualified rather specificly if you ever want to win a gig).
