Yeah when I wrote the sentence you’re responding to, four people specifically came to mind, and 2 of them were you/Julia specifically, and two were some other people for whom I don’t think of singing as their strong suit (although I think they were still selected for enthusiasm).
It’s plausible to me that like 80% of the far-away-ers were pretty singy or enthusiastic, but I think <50% of the NYC people were.
“Selected for enthusiasm” is still an important selection criteria, but, it does still point towards the main goal being “enthusiasm.”
