Hmmm... David, isn't this akin to you being given a page of sheet music
and when, asked if it's any good, you replying, "Well, the only way to
tell if it is mathematically consistent is to translate it to numbers and
do the equations." You're talking apples and oranges here!

Play the music and see how it /sounds/.
