I think I know why you say that, but I didn't communicate that something can't be equally oriented toward both knowledge and affect; in fact I'd say that's exactly what people are experiencing when they characterize a theorem, equation, proof, or algorithm as "elegant." And I'm not calling the OED an "arbiter of all knowledge," I'm merely making sure my eccentric use of "affect," isn't being taken as a mistaken "effect."
