Why bother writing "Zen & the _Art_ of Motorcycle Maintenance" if it's all been said before?

Quoting Platt June 8th:

Progress in art? Not in my book. Beauty transcends time. It belies our assumptions
of growth and progress. Are our buildings more beautiful than the Parthenon?
Are our churches more beautiful than Chartes? Are our dishes more beautiful than Greek vases? Are our musical compositions more beautiful than Mozart's? Beauty
doesn’t evolve and improve with time. The animal paintings by unknown early
humans in the caves of Lascaux have never been surpassed.

Anyway, why beauty shows up in the equations of physics has never been
explained by those who reduce everything to quantum fluctuations.
