Proximity rule.
Imagine this: We are in a room together looking at a CD collection. Most everything is out of date; stuff we've never heard of. Then we find several CDs of Louis Armstrong, Count Basie, and other jazz classics.
I AM HOLDING THE CD. I say "Some of the CDs are worthless. But these are wonderful."
YOU ARE HOLDING THE CD. I say "Some of the CDs are worthless. But those are wonderful."
We are talking about music in general and how nobody really remembers the popular music of the early 20th century. Then you mention the jazz songs like "It's a beautiful World", and I say "Yeah, all the other popular music is just old. But they are still wonderful."
