"Knowing" is often a barrier to experiencing though. I'm clear which I'd rather do :)

an analogy which occurs to me is of young children standing around in a playground, heatedly discussing the definition of fun. I'd rather just play.
That's not to say that I'm anti-intellectual, or non-intellectual, but the idea of categorization, which is really what's being discussed here, is not really that interesting to me personally, particuarly since it all comes down to nothing more than personal opinion, however forcably that opinion is expressed, or however conventionally 'correct' it is currently considered.

but things need explaining. In the case of art I see a dodging of an explanation.
I'm also interested in what fun is, by the way, because that's also difficult to explain -
meaningfully, fruitfully difficult, not just intractable.

Great. That's the point. And when we say that we accept everything with an open mind and don't reject out of hand. That sounds like what you're saying and it sounds like we're arguing from the same precept. But, to return to the point, that's not cubism.

I'm a big fan of Eno's music but I'm afraid both he and the author of the piece have misunderstood Duchamp. such is art

Thus, all you can possibly be expressing are your own opinions, or someone else's. The fact that you do so in such a condescending way is not particularly endearing.

did not publicly explain his work but that does not mean that the consensus is incorrect.

I'm sorry if I've sounded condesending in my posts. I've not intended that at all and I'd rather people read my posts with the voice of an interested informed nobody.

he'd still only be expressing Duchamp's opinions about what Duchamp thinks. Still prone to errors.
