Larry in response to your question..." Why does the Argentine tango spawn such
passionate controversies" Your reasons are all endogenous to the art form in
itself... I argue that while all your points are well taken... the primary
reason for the controversies reside on the audience themselves... lets look at
the writing and discourse for those participating in such controversies... are
there any similarities in discourse, wording and strategies of argumentation?
The passionate controversies in this list reveals more about the participants
(outspoken, self-righteous, partially-educated (mostly in western
institutions), well-traveled, "know it all" folks) than the art form in itself.
