I think William means,You can cnly judge the results of his work(His
Object), not his
aesthetic subjectivity. that is his own.

As William asserts that we cannot "judge anyone's aesthetic

is apparently unaware that this is exactly what happens in
traditional arts
education -- and is still important in the worlds of classical
music and jazz

an acute
awareness of certain, special qualities.
I think this attitude -- or at least the institutionalization of it
-- has
been a cultural disaster -- and I'm not shy about saying that.
(even if, as William has just reminded us, - "What a joke! Miller
being the
looker downer upon instead of the looked downed upon.")
BTW - regarding sarcasm -- Michael, you are apparently much better
at it than
I (at least according to the professional editor on this list) so
I'm not
suggesting that you stop. It's what you do best!

You complain about sarcasm, especially mine, yet you continually
toss out
snarky comments like this, which do little to advance any
discussion or train
of thought, but rather just tweak the alpha's tail, as the timorous
monkeys
do.
