What I said:
"There really is a lot of young talent out there. Go to any college or university with a decent music program and check out the talent. Ask about the jazz program. You'll usually find some young dudes that can really, REALLY, play"
What YOU said in response:

Huh!
I was just trying to say that, despite the advances in technology, there are still lots of young people who know how to play real instruments (and play them well). Whether or not there is a venue for them to play in is a different story. I even stated that most of them will NOT end up as 'starving musicians' in the normal playing venues (and WE, the lesser talented and lesser trained, should be thankful for it
).
