Here's the thing. EVEN IF we accept your premises, your conclusion fails. Your own standards show you are wrong.

Well i could come back with:

Well if you dont know then thats why you aint in one. But i wont

Its like this:

Say i am in a museum looking at great art. And you are there doing the same. And each week we are there and finally notice each other. We then chat about it. Two people. Together maybe at some cafe down the street. About art and our unique views. Maybe even things we think others just do not see.

Then you tell me how your cousin from another city is like us. And later my buddy from college also shows the same interest. And so now theres four of us. We each bring something new to the table thereby showing the others we got it and can think on our own too.

Maybe it gets to about eight ppl.

And you are also a member of say three other eight people groups all sep from one another.

Each person is creative and proactive and can think for themselves and is not lazy or overly reliant on others. Each person can bring sonething new to the table. A different idea or concept ot perspective. All of you can draw too and have good skills.

And so on.

That is how. That is the only way unique ideas live in ms

Now in fine art we want the world to see it in museums for all.

But ms is like counting cards in a casino. Not illegal but NOT something to ever be made public or shared w people who dont know how to treat the practice w kid gloves. Ms is like an engine being tinkered with like as though you are the wizard of oz. not just anybody can work it! And they shouldnt

But they all have been invited to the party and now look at the state of things

I could go on but no
