You're talking dismissively about art as if it's something about which anyone's casual opinion is equally valid.

Conceptual art is an intellectual tradition, like most human activities, and you 're only revealing your own prejudices and ignorance when you dismiss it.

I'm not saying "leave it to the professionals to discuss art", but please at least have the politeness to be aware that there's a bit more to this than reactionary ideas about mimetic "artistic merit" or talent.
