Again, I did not introduce the high culture vs low culture debate. I just said that there are better pieces of art and worse pieces of art.
Is strange that there is such a debate when something like this is said about art but not about any other endeavor.
I’m sure one could draw parallels to programmers or to chefs or to musicians. There’s just people that do things much better than others and the more time you spend in that particular endeavor the more you are able to discriminate. Is it classist to say that the guy who flips burgers doesn’t have the same skill as a top rated chef? Maybe he puts a lot of love doing it. Maybe you like the burger more than the fancy restaurant. But still...
And... Shakespeare? I particularly don’t enjoy Shakespeare that much (I’m a Spaniard, we have Cervantes here) but I don’t see your point. Those are dramatic formulas from that time and period, nothing to do with the skill or genius of the writer.
