I've thought about this idea and have a proposed mechanism for it...
We dont have very strong opinions outside our areas of expertise of knowledge, we dont have the inclination or the capacity to really.
Whereas within our area of expertise we have cultivated our understanding to be able to fully appreciate and love great works, but also truly understand and thus hate the depths of failure of poor work.
I suppose this is similar to the original uncanny valley effect. A part of our mind is highly specialized at recognizing other humans with an amazing attention to detail. Real humans are registered by the system and pass, quasi-human things register and fail alarmingly, rocks and trees merely dont register.
