Perhaps because musicians were supposed to know what key and scale they were using? Perhaps because it's part of being creative to know the scale and key and then intentionally break the rules?

They make a lot out of the ease of removing tones not in the key. But how can this be used when in most music there are passing tones?

I don't get it. But, thanks for the ride, Dan.
