Wait, what's musical inference like? Is it anything like how you wouldn't truly appreciate the latest, top theologians because the theological analogue of inferential distance?
Edit: Looks like you gave an answer to this in the sibling thread, but I think the point still stands.
(You already know what I think about "You need years of study to appreciate this.")
If you can do it in less time, so much the better.
That's just compounding the error -- for comparison: "If you can appreciate the current top theological innovations without having gone to seminary, hey, all the better -- that's proof of your worth, rather than our own cliquishness!"
