The critic tries to get people to think and clarify their assumptions and opinions-to go beyond their comfort zone with regards to their feelings about the arts.
Because QT has brought this to the discussion, the critic has done his job. Ultimately, everyone may leave this topic without a change in opinion, but at least there is a conversation.
