The argument about what is random novelty fails to take in to account that what is "new" (as in the "new" that is relevant in my argument) is often outside something like a culturally born critical taste boundary. Age is cultural condition in which particular tastes are influenced. The times one grew is quite an influence on taste, actually. And, aging does make ones tastes more rigid. Evidence is abundant on this one. Anyone can think of exceptions, but stepping back what I describe is a powerful generalization. Z-, your notion is not scrutiny, but an excision of certain realities which require personal effort to overcome.
