Put another way, "good taste" is like universal ethics. There's no such thing as "universal taste" (as in, God did not ordain something to have the quality of "good taste"), but, most people can agree that they like a thing (an "agreement of taste"). Former doesn't exist but latter does. Tastes shift over time indicating that a "universal taste" doesn't exist. When the term "good taste" is used though, it seems to allude to "universal taste". I don't think people mean "what everyone likes" ("agreement of taste") when they refer to "good taste", otherwise all of the "gaudy" leopard-print clothing of yesteryear would be "good taste". "Good taste" means, to most people, "rich people value this, for whatever reason"
