Topic: Subj. Appreciation
The written word is so subjective. What I write and what I mean may not be the same as what you read and what you interpret or understand. The written word, in one sense, allows for a greater depth to be given to our thoughts. We can use language and illustration to make ourselves understood. We can use the proper jargon or syntax to aid our case. We can reduce our explanations into laymans terms if need be. Even then, it doesn't always work. There must be a meeting of the minds in order for communication to take place.
This reminds me of a television commercial involving a car salesman who makes his pitch. The parents hear exactly what the salesman is saying. The child hears garbage...until, the DVD player is mentioned. In this case, I was call the phenomena selective listening. Our previous example may be more of a deductive matter although I somehow fail to see where logic enters the picture.
There is also the distinct possibility that some people are just plain idiots.
I digress. We can't allow one misinterpretation to divert our attention from the goal. In this case, we haven't actually defined our goal, but masterpiece was part of it.
