I like to think of the painter who's trained in classical design; they spend their time thinking about Baroque diagonals and golden ratios. They have a, "deep knowledge" of how paintings are classically organized. One day they encounter a strange machine that can produce any image they wish-- without considering the economic impact this would have on their craft he is often asked, "isn't this machine a marvel?" His reply is often, "it sheds no light for me on why certain ratios produce beautiful forms, it tells me nothing of the inspired mind of poets, nor of the nature of the Good."

In Plato's Republic Socrates' compares the ability to produce a piece of furniture with the ability to produce the image of a cabient or so-forth with a small compact mirror; what is the difference if a deceivable crowd doesn't know the difference?
