Well, what's cheating?* :P* The point of the joke itself is that
   we're ALWAYS cheating in some way.* Something is only as
   authentic as the point that we stop and say, "Ok.* This will
   do." But there's ALWAYS someone else who will go a step
   further... and another beyond that. :) Never thought about
   outside assist actually :P I SUPPOSE I could go into an
   isolation-tank - warm bathtub, no light, no sound... but then I
   suspect the ear would start ringing out of boredom and THAT
   would generate a song :P and yeah, the perfect pitch is just one
   of those 'things' - doesn't serve much purpose to the
   music-in-the-head.* I can just 'think' of a song and it goes off
   on its own and does its own thing :) But yeah, authentic vs
   cheating? I think it's all authentic myself.* Everything we make
   is components from something else.* [who has access to initial
   Universe energies and THEN you gotta go beyond that somehow,
   even if it's to the prior Universe, to the Bulk.. whatever model
   you choose?* :P ] I got with "whatever works".* I like getting
   things done FAST but "my way" - so whatever helps me accomplish
   that is a 'good thing" - and since I'm glued to some kind of
   computer wherever I go (or I try to be), I use whatever tools
   are available for it to accomplish my goals. Still though,
   sometimes I feel like I'm cheating, but then I get over it.*
   It's still coming from 'me' and I'm as real/fake as anybody else
   :P
