Most of the people.. ahem.. "defending" zappa in lieu of his own
words, don't present logical arguments or respond to the points made.
In extreme cases (like Nil for instance), they actually start lying
about what was said and about the poster "putting down" their favorite
artist.
So how does he know? Well, because it's easy to tell what kind of
person "likes" frank zappa, thats why. If you can see it. It's
difficult to see such a thing from the "inside", if you catch my
drift. But it's obvious to "outsiders".
