    I await your response. BTW, defensive? Not too sure where you got that, perhaps you should probably avoid reading too much into other people's posts. Yikes!
    ...Aaaand...

    Having read the furnished link (which came with the disclaimer made by Nabreeki that the article wasn't "peer reviewed") I'm still not convinced. The article goes on a tangent based on a statement that has been retracted. Nothing to see here, move along.

    Next time you want to claim something's been documented, remember that an important part of the definition is "especially of a factual or informative nature" and documentation should be "furnish[ed] with references, citations, etc., in support of statements made." http://www.dictionary.com/browse/documented

    Art is art. And artists do a lot of things under the postmodern blanket term.

    Art died with art deco.

    Yes, yes it is. On that I can agree.

    By the way, if Nabreeki is truly trying to parallel the "Make it Great Again" Candidate*... I'll stop there.

    This is a moving goalpost; ask for proof... then when it is offered, the parameters of what constitutes proof are changed.

    It isn't a moving goalpost, it's me holding Nabreeki to expectation that "documentation" he claimed to have actually be true, which it proved to not be. A reasonable expectation, I might add.

    Having an ambiguous definition of "documentation" is a moving goal post. Meeting your unrealistic expectation of proof would result in the goalpost moving again.

    The logical fallacy I see you applying, in this case, is referred to as "special pleading".

    It's the dictionary's definition of documentation. If you don't like it, that isn't my fault.

    But, we're back on topic now. What are your thoughts on the statue?
    I think it was created by Starfleet Dental as a promotional gimmick.

    Johnson Tsang is the creator of the design.

    The worst travesty isn't the weird baby statue. It's leaving out DS9 art.

    a lot of the time there's nothing to "get" in art.

    The name of this topic "WHISKY TANGO FOXTROT" sums up nicely the train of my thoughts, when I was reading through this topic...
