I do remember a long time ago Humphrey Lyttelton found a quotation to the effect that Coleman Hawkins had made a serious mistake going for tenor saxophone rather than his true instrument, the BASS saxophone. 

This -- propounded seriously by someone -- was not a heresy with many adherents.  
More mould than fig.
