No, Derek, now you are undeniably ducking the question. I'm not asking you to
"make an argument". I haven't asked you to list THE criteria that all works
must meet to "BE" "art". I have asked solely for "the reason why you, Derek, at
that moment, call that work art, or call it not art." You call Mozart's 20th
piano concerto "art". You call an "airport novel" NOT art. What are your
reasons for those specific two callings? If you have no reasons, say so.
