A follow up.

The phrase "if puppeteers persist in thinking . . ." gives the
impression that puppeteers DO think that way and, if they continue to
think this way . . .

whereas my impression is that you want to establish more of a
subjunctive mood: "Perhaps the larger point is, that if puppeteers were
only able to believe in the importance of their work, then it would be
there (eventually?) when the audience returned."

[note to puppeteer: marry someone with a job and medical benfits!]

comments?
