The difference, however, is that the note you're talking about is not a note
you'd pay $80 or more to hear a countertenor sing, and it is a note you'd pay
$80 to hear a tenor sing. If a countertenor couldn't sing that note (and
countertenors, by the way, are generally singing in a well-supported falsetto,
which is not the same production a tenor uses) then somebody's messed up his
voice. You're comparing apples and oranges here.
