This is what a person who is basically insecure about his or her set of knowledge and skills says. The idea is to get others to believe that the person using the term is so high and mighty, so all knowing, all powerful, having been everywhere and done everything that it is beneath dignity to event think of the piano in question as a piano. This kind of person often puts up this kind of front because he or she does not really have an answer to the question, a solution for the problem or even a good, basic set of skills, only a turned up nose. The problem with this kind of attitude is that it spreads easily. Once one person says it, others join in thinking it is "cool" to have disdain for one's work. If we all go around calling every piano a "PSO" then other people might believe that we all "only do Steinways". Trouble is, I have seen virtually *every* brand of piano called a "PSO", even a Steinway and many people I have known who make these remarks have turned out to be real phonies, down to the core. You can't afford to have that kind of attitude at this or at any time in this business.
