		<description>You are so right, viola8 - but I was only referring to sub-categories under the &quot;good&quot; conductor rubric.  The &quot;bad&quot; category includes many variations (diabolical in scope) on the basics that you describe - *shudder*...</description>

		<description>Don&#039;t forget the other categories of conductors. 

1) The Flailer: Thinks they are The Scientist, but upon realizing a lack of actual knowledge of the score, content themselves to flail away, occasionally imparting misinformation and ill timed emoting. Sometimes uses techniques such as the &quot;Make The Voices Go Away!&quot; method, where hands motion about the head, as if warding off flies, and &quot;The Shovel&quot; where upbeats are scooped from some nether region below the music stand. 

2) The Rambler: Waxes Poetically, generally about nothing. No actual technique is required aside from unwelcome verbosity. 

3) The Mad Scientist: Has difficulty imparting their wealth of knowledge through good stick technique, so they fume throughout the entire rehearsal process, blaming everyone but themselves.</description>
