I was just employing irony and sarcasm to demonstrate why your arguments  
were meaningless :)  The only measurable factor for "good" art is how many  
people use it/buy it.  For-sale software, books, movies do rather well, so  
I'm inclined to believe they are pretty good.  There are also some open  
source/free materials that do rather well, but they are not nearly as  
common as free materials that are crappy.  My point was that for-sale art  
by far outperforms freely available art in popularity and usage.  When you  
get paid to make something, you can do it more often, you get better at  
it, and your quality of work goes up.

Anyways, we can stop debating, clearly it's not going anywhere.
