Could well be. I think that, in part, was what  Betty was intimating when she

trying to bully or shame  people into enthusiastic participation in things 
that don't ring their  chimes, but that does not stop some folks from trying.

No doubt. I think you certainly should check out as many judged  shows and 
unjudged exhibitions as possible. It is the best experience in  the world for a 
novice, next to visiting gardens, of course.
