This is a fantastic thread!

I don't see how you could hand somebody a carte blanche for their uninformed artistic opinions, when if somebody held positions as uninformed in other spheres on bluelight (say, someone in CE&P who clings to the belief that Saddam had WMDs and was aiding Bin Laden) you would probably agree with the people who kindly offered factual links of contrary information.

Why are some opinions off limits to rational and logical challenge?

A point well made.

Not forgetting that people with informed artistic opinions can (and will) arrive at very different conclusions. Hence we can answer this question in the negative, irrespective of someone's erudition on the subject:

it's art we're discussing - is it really that hard to believe that different people have different preferences and those preferences vary in strength?
