I've been preoccupied lately by two ideas that I believe are related: Error Quality
First, specifically, why is there error? Not, how does an error occur? Nor am I interested in the teleological answere that error produces diversity, which is a good thing (and which strikes me as a circular argument). Why is there error? Why is there no perfect duplication or action? Second, why is it that some people cannot discern or distinguish the limits of lesser quality? Why do some people accept an artful production (music, dance, painting, etc.) as suitable and highly accomplished when it isn't? I am not picking a quarrel with gauche taste and making a case for more art education. I am interested in the process or mechanism or explanation of why it is that some people cannot distinguish between the mediocre and the high quality. | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Michael Brady
