Let me get this straight. You're saying its bananas to take the intent of the art when engaging in criticism? Or would you suggest bothering the judges at the Sundance film board to analyze your home movies?

You can hold things to any standard that's relevant is true, but I was arguing the contrapositive here. If its not relevant to it, you can't apply the standard.

what am I not understanding here?
