meter is an important aspect of public speaking. if you vary your meter at inappropriate times your speech doesn't come off as natural and flowing. OTOH if you maintain a rigid meter the whole time you sound robotic.

Songsmith looks like a mostly useless piece of software from a musical point of view... I can't imagine any real musicians using it. But from a content-creation-for-the-masses point of view, it's clearly a hit. I look forward to seeing more crazy shit put together with this software.
