See my thread below on "pointlessness." I was very moved by Mr Sinker's response.

well, you have to impart your own moving-ness to the trite, whereas the deep does it all for you. So here I guess that the trite wins. For example, take the case of Dostoevsky vs the organ grinder. Dostoevsky was moved by the organ grinder, but I imagine the opposite did not apply.

Last song to reduce me to tears: Paper Lace, "Billy Don't Be A Hero". So yes, probably.
