There is a difference between playing the piano and being a pianist.

Anyone can play the piano at a certain extent.

But being a PIANIST means to be DAMN GOOD in playing the piano.

The guys in ASF are artists or aspiring to become such so what they want is to
become PIANISTS and not only "learn to play the piano somehow".

To become a PIANIST you first need to repeat the same exercises every day for
hours until you DROP DEAD for the tiredness but one day.. one day you will sit
at the piano and will have 1000 persons to look at you like a God..

Then you are A PIANIST! Same thing with Seduction. Everyone can put his dick
into a pussy but not everyone can be a Seductionist.
