The underlying problem, per say, is not the sensationalist headline, but that it would take months if not years of concentrated studies in different scientific fields to break through this level of ignorance. We are used to crackpots of all kinds populating the Internet with conspiracy theories on this, that and the other, but a major broadcaster validating “Chopin’s toilet fantasies” is an alarming symptom of post-modern helplessness that proudly proclaims that every opinion is valid, and that every opinion is in fact, fact. To anybody with rudimentary public schooling, the Chopin toilet headline clearly falls in the same category as “Iowa man gives birth to three-headed duck.” What is astonishing, however, it that a major European public broadcaster in the arts decided to produce a long expose entitled “Chopin’s Men” to make public this most important revelation.
