Even the music metaphor is the same. And the mention of geometry proof. The blogger is so uncreative.

Creative isn't the point. It's still a problem, so it's still worth talking about!

(Fair disclaimer, this analogy is borrowed from a much better writer, Paul Lockhart). And the words "Paul Lockhart" are hyperlinked to http://worrydream.com/refs/Lockhart-MathematiciansLament.pdf which Typhon already pointed out several comments up-thread! Your reading comprehension needs a tune-up.
