"Really? Most listeners to music are non-musicians." True and trite.
"So when composers or improvisers don't play down to what the listener understands, they're being unreasonable?" No, they are doing what they want to do. You are not required to write/play what an audience likes or
understands unless you want to earn money at it.
"I think you'll find, in that case, that the history of music is littered with monstrously unreasonable composers and improvisers (fortunately)."
Again, true and trite.
"Stalin had this idea, I'm afraid to say......." Stalin had lots of ideas.
You should not conflate Stalin with musical preferences.
