People in general perceive music as "what is being played" vs. mathematics "what is being written on a page". This is the common concept, but it is incomplete. Music has its boring parts (notation), so does maths, but the general public is prone to confuse maths as a whole with its "sheet music".
Absolutely no one when they're navel gazing on this topic is discussing the aesthetics of notation.
