Only if you accept the thesis that "the average listener" is a
drooling idiot.

Of course, since two decades of radio programming directed towards
morons has driven many non-morons away from radio entirely (at least
as a source on musical entertainment), this could now reasonably be
stipulated as the audience living up (or rather, down) to programmers'
expectations.
