Your point seems to rest on holding to a different definition of "abstract" from the one I was originally using.
Which is (unintentionally, I presume) a subtle form of putting words into my mouth and then arguing against those instead.
- beaconstudios 8y agoIt's not a form of putting words in your mouth, it's called misunderstanding, miscommunication or "talking past each other". I'm operating from my understanding of the word and you are operating from yours. It seems there is a difference between the two. I can't be putting words in your mouth if we're using the same word with different understandings of what it means.
- bunderbunder 8y agoRight, I had noticed the misunderstanding, which is why I initially responded by clarifying my terminology. "Abstract" is jargon in art, so it doesn't necessarily work exactly the same way there as it does in vernacular usage.
