It is said if you are a musician and you cannot read music you are not a real musician. Some has even suggested that you only truly become a musician why you have learn to read a score or a lead sheet. I have often hold the view, that it is an asset when you can both sight read music and play by ear. Trying to compare the two on the other hand, is a gross injustice. For me I do look at them as different disciplines, just like in the field of medicine.
