An interesting philosophical viewpoint... not mutually exclusive to my point. If less kids start off, there will be less to get the bug and carry on with more serious study. If we just had pianos and no auto arrangers nowadays I feel sure there would be very many less starting, therefore many less would carry on.

As to too many lawyers, the problem is that they are all employed getting the crooks off, whereas we could use them sticking all the crooks on Wall Street in jail!
