Yes - but it was in the context of how might one create music that would

facilitate a particular desired result.

'Ought to' in this sense meaning "it would probably work best if . . . " -

to bring about this particular result.

I *knew it*!

That was a rare fine display of Celtic fire if I ever saw one.

The most sure way to raise a Celt's ire is to tell them they either *can't*

or *must* do something - guaranteed way to get their dander up.

(I should know - being mostly Scot, with a good splash of Welsh to go along

with it.)
