While I agree in principle that one can spread oneself to thin.... I
hardly see that learning a bit about UET and a bit of relevant music
history is tantamount to stretching oneself too thin. Its just not that
much work. I have no problem with anyone simply not being interested
themselves. But lets not try and justify a clear and simple matter of
preference with attempts at objective reasoning justify these. Hey...
its cool to just say "UET's are not my bag"

Jeff,
I agree with what you said. There are too many times when a
technician wants to delve into so many different things that,
instead of being able to perfect the skills that are needed, they
can compromise these skills by being a jack of all trades. While I
fine nothing wrong with wanting to broaden one's horizons, you can
get to a point of diminishing a needed skill in one area just for
the sake of saying that you can now do something else that you never
did before and in the long run it does not amount to a hill of
beans. If you and many others are like me, you have a tough time
trying to keep things as good as they should and need to be let
alone trying to go after something that you might use once in your
life if even then.
God bless
