I like a good 4'33 joke as much as the next person, but there are very distinctly two schools of them: people going "lol 4'33 of perfect silence" and people who know the stated point is an orchestral performance of not playing, during which the audience intentionally hears whatever noise is audible in the venue during that specific performance

recordings of 4'33 are not (intended to be) fungible!

(this is not me chiding anyone! this is me neurodivergently sharing my shiny pebbles of Shit I Happen To Know For Some Reason)
