I agree that it's not a contradiction for two different people to hold opposing views. My objection is more towards the author of the post who, when bringing clowning to the uneducated masses (aka me), writes "some people say clowns should make you laugh, but others say they shouldn't". That may be technically true, but what am I supposed to learn from that?

I always got the feeling that "high clowning" must be out there and be really interesting to watch. I would have liked the post to shed more light on that.
