Really excellent assessment of this issue. Don't worry (at least on my account!) about your timing! Your new job is a big deal! Just a note that I really enjoyed reading the Oliver Sacks letters, probably even more because I just finished reading his book "Musicophilia" - highly recommended, even if the science is from the 1990's - I'm sure there have been advances since then, but still a fascinating and wide ranging book.
