     In the United States we have a saying: "You're preaching to
the choir," meaning that someone is laboring to convince those
who are already believers.

     It seems to me you're engaged in a sort of reversal of that
practice: You're asking the choir whether music has value.  If you
want opinions about music and conduct your poll at a conservatory,
be just a bit suspicious about the outcome.  If you're studying the
plague of firearms at an NRA convention, take the results with a
grain of salt.  And if you're interested in the merits of Java,
asking Java-heads is maybe not the best way to get unbiased answers!

     Just sayin' ...
