Hmmm, what about those of us that like both?

Reminds me of once in Grade 9 or 10 English class -- early '70s.
The teacher was gloating over some claim that plants thrived if
you played classical music at them, but suffered in some way I no
longer recall -- stunted growth?  withering? -- if subjected to
rock.)

To which one of the class "losers" piped up: "Well, sir, that
just goes to show we're not vegetables!"

("Loser" was the teacher's term -- he'd never get away with that
now, I suppose.)

With sufficient thrust, pigs fly just fine. However, this is not
necessarily a good idea.
