Or maybe, on the otherhand... its because people are so ready to discard 
the intuitive in favour of something they can quantify that they forget 
that the experience of playling a  musical instrument is far more allied 
with the intuitive then it is the quantative.

Besides.... the two perspectives need not be in conflict with one 
another as long as each remember that the major difference between the 
two is more a matter of language use then what lies behind..  Instead of 
hearing << magic circle of sound>> and without further ado discard the 
concept it might be better to try and find out just what actually the 
term is attempting to describe and to what degree there is or isnt truth 
in the matter.

Just a thought.
