It is truly no feat to crack a nut, and therefore no one would think to gather an audience for the purpose of entertaining them with nutcracking. But if he should do so, and if he should succeed in his aim, then it cannot be a matter of mere nutcracking. Or alternatively, it is a matter of nutcracking, but as it turns out we have overlooked the art of nutcracking because we were so proficient at it that it is this new nutcracker who is the first to demonstrate what it actually entails, whereby it could be even more effective if he were less expert in nutcracking than the majority of us.
The quote suggests that an act as simple as nutcracking might seem trivial and unworthy of attention. However, if someone manages to draw an audience by masterfully cracking nuts, it transforms the act into something more significant. This highlights the notion that even mundane tasks can hold depth and meaning if approached with a fresh perspective.
Furthermore, the statement implies that our familiarity with common skills can blind us to their intricacies. The new nutcracker's ability to showcase this art might reveal that those who excel at a task may not fully appreciate its nuances. This invites readers to reconsider how they perceive everyday activities, emphasizing that there is often more to learn from what we take for granted.
