| As a starting point, I'd say generalities don't achieve much worth saying (especially when, as here, there isn't really any meaningful data to support anything) and there are certainly no rules. These two pundits do not strike me as people who have access to many voters (unlike the Times reporter taking a poll-most people return calls or emails from the Times) so I would guess that their "clichés" are just that-"knowledge" accumulated by repetition until it takes on an air of believability. That said, I think there are some individual answers that are not based on imagination and that are logically correct. I suspect you would agree for instance that if you are directly involved in one nominated show, you are not likely to vote for a competitor. But that logic also works against any generalization since those similarly situated on other shows can be expected to do the same. Yes there is some politics and horsetrading, and yes some people vote for people for external rather than internal reasons, but without real (i.e., scientifically-based) data, I think you have chosen the right word to describe it. The theatre loves absolute truths, on both the business side and the creative side. The funny thing is, the folks who succeed the most tend not to believe any of it. :-) |
