"Historically, the amateur was considered to be the ideal balance between pure intent, open mind, and the interest or passion for a subject." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amateur It feels like a conflict of interest for a "fine artist" for example to try to make a living as a "commercial artist".... the tools, techniques, and skills may have a lot of overlap, but I think one type of intention/motivation/constraint interferes with the other. In contrast on this (now bent) thread, Marcel Duchamp stated (authoritatively?!): “All in all, the creative act is not performed by the artist alone; the spectator brings the work in contact with the external world by deciphering and interpreting its inner qualifications and thus adds his contribution to the creative act,” Many creatives (visual artists, writers, and more obviously performing artists) have agreed with this... the audience "participation" if not "response" is key to their "completion"... I don't know if this maps onto "closure" in CS, but maybe. - Steve
