The cultural versus innate debate reminds me of one of my favorite Malcolm in the Middle episodes. For those who know the show, Malcolm is supposed to be a super-genius. He takes a music appreciation course and expects it to be the classic "mick", a trivial job at which he is assured a A.
His assignment is to describe how pieces make him feel, and he talks in his homework about how uplifting and joyous is the Albinoni Adagio (one of the saddest, most tragically poignant pieces in the repetoire). He gets an F, and is forced to consult with his younger brother Dewey, who is musically gifted.

Not that anyone should care, but I tend to lean more towards Locke's tabula rasa than an innate tabla raga.
I tilt toward generative grammars.
Although, in David Berlinski's often-hilarious book Black Mischief, the late Richard Montague pronounces Chomsky as one of the two great frauds of the 20th century. Berlinski inquires about number two, and Montague says, delightedly, Einstein.

Communication problems ? Subjectivist language ? phooey.
Go see the problems jazz musicians have communicating by finding jazzrobots on Youtube.
Meanwhile I will write a transcendental review of the profound effect Bybee quantum purifiers have had on the electron mobility in my speaker cables...............
Sorry about OT but.........this thread is getting REALLY boring.

So how do you explain how as a baby or toddler music garners zero response unless its too loud but has an effect on older children?
I have a baby for testing purposes!
Looking at the Martin Colloms links, and shuddering as I remember the horrible posed photo of him they used to put in the mags and the article where he was convinced lead free solder did not sound as good. Oddly that one sank without a trace, possibly because people sorted their production processes out!
Any 5 year old can do that! 😀 reason why we don't buy them drums and tin guitars for Christmas. 😱

MiiB,
I've designed my monoblocks to be modular and also can drop in an input stage to the open loop output stage in my case. I've found CFA to offer a speed and clarity along with dynamics that make you ignore the electronics and enjoy the music, either harmonics are left intact or slightly enhanced, but it really makes for an enjoying listen and has been a mainstay in all of my different builds as consistently offering effortless musical delivery 🙂. Maybe you haven't built the right CFA?, but brittle sounds like something else is going on. The first thing would be choosing the a Feedback resistor well for loop feedback, same applies even in the current conveyor mode.

They don't, slip of the pen by MiiB.
fMRI and PET yes, not CT.
(I still have an old rotating anode assembly, I'd be perfectly happy to strap Mr Børresen in a chair and play some nice records for a couple of days)
Back on topic.
'Global Feedback - A huge benefit for audio'
Other way to look at the debate is. Are there any significant disadvantages ?
(Total Newbie here 😱)

Interesting quote "Dr Pickett said live performance of a lullaby was likely to be more effective than a recorded version, adding: “Babies and young children respond to the singer’s voice first and instruments second – and more than one instrument can actually become quite confusing and less effective. Facial expressions and visual stimulation during the performance of a lullaby are just as important, and live performance allows the adult to adapt their singing depending on the child’s mood. "
Does suggest that the child is picking up the cues on how to react from the adult. And the fact that they didn't use fetal noises as a comparison loses the change to tell if its related to the rhythms heard before birth (why babies sleep in cars).
But in danger of entering into the 'what is music' debate!
