Perhaps it's just a literacy issue. If you go back and read my comments, I
have repeatedly stated that no opinion invalidates another, and neither is
wrong.

This isn't rocket science. Some people think some art sucks. Other people
view that art in the highest regard. Others think it's OK, but not great.
Others are apathetic and have no opinion one way or another. ... and every
single one of them is "right".

How is it you are unable to grasp so simple a concept?

"Do you use drugs Danny?"
"Every day."
"So what's the problem then?"
