OMG. I don't even want to read that article.  It's a sad  
commentary on the state of some minds.

How can you "understand" the artist? He's the taylor for the  
king who wears no clothes?

It reminds me of the joke about the little boy who was asked to  
draw something for class and turned in a blank sheet of white  
paper. The teacher obviously didn't see anything. But the boy  
said it's hidden by the snow storm!

NFTs (none fungible tokens) are another thing that boggles the  
mind.
