What if the people who build violins worried about beginners as much as people arguing about JavaScript frameworks? Would it be capable of the sounds an expert can make with one?

Yo ... A cheap violin or a $10,000 violin is difficult to make a good sounding note, let alone string them together into a melody. There is a level of practice and study expected of beginners to be able to play a fancy or a crappy violin at all.

It's an effort/flexibility/expressivity spectrum. Violins allow playing out of tune, thus violinists get vibrato/portamento. Pianos don't, thus pianists don't. Autonomous cars = no expert drivers. Automation = the death of expertise, no one learns. ex-pert: out of peril/trial.
