conditions for bulk manufacturing work (like engraving once was) are not
that dissimilar: skilled and effective workers are not the same as
artists.  Typography is about rendering the content, not being it.

There are obviously some different philosophies at play here, but the line between "good, readable scores" and "visual artworks" is at least a little fuzzy, isn't it?
