Even if these two just swallowed their pride and funded free music education for all ages we'd at least have thousands of Mozarts...

...do these guys even listen to contemporary composers anyway? Could they even identify a modern Mozart? My bet is no. They just have so much ego they believe they'd know about it instantly despite their lack of any intimate knowledge of the subject.
