How one chooses to implement an alt-process and the aesthetics of the final
result are far more personal, individual matters of taste and artistic
vision that no one else can assault on the basis of truths and facts. No
doubt the tendency of some to cling to immutable standards originates from
the same desire for the safe and regimented cocoon, whether they debunk new
science or new art. I quibble because I can defend Galileo on the basis of
right versus wrong, but I can only defend Gene on the basis of "there is no
right or wrong".
