Yes, you did. And then followed up with the same line of reasoning again in the next sentence:

But my painting is only meant to be appreciated visually because that is how I choose to express it. The idea that I should be forced to represent my art in a way I never intended it to be, is absurd.
- roenxi 4y agoIf you feel that describing your painting to a blind person is beneath your dignity as an artist, to the point that you'd rather have left it unpainted, then truly I sit in awe of your principles. But why you think that you can apply that sort of standard to yourself, but not see a level of absurdity in the EU commission trying to wrest phone design away from Apple of all companies is still a profound mystery even after all these posts. They have as much a "right" to design integrity as an artist does.

If you don't want to present your art in ways you don't intend it to be consumed, you shouldn't be forced. If someone else wants to do it for others, that's fine. You could even start a business taking art forms and describing them for people who can't appreciate them in their natural setting.
