The person I responded to asked why someone would choose Poetry over Business.

Can you really, honestly, read what I wrote and say that I didn't try to come up with reasons why someone would choose Poetry over Business?

When I read what you wrote, in conjunction with this defensive post asking me to speculate as to what you were trying to do, I think of the OP's question as a question on an exam and your reply as the work of a student familiar with the concept of "business" and utterly unaware of the concept of "poetry."
