This is not good for art… hahaha Because art is personal, you like it or you do not like it. You do not need expertise to enjoy, like, look, or buy artwork.

The Crucial Distinction: Expertise vs. Uninformed Opinions.

The saying, “The opinion of 11,000 men is of no value if none of them knows anything about the subject,” shows the fundamental principle that the quantity of opinions should never be a substitute for quality.

This statement reflects a simple yet powerful truth that has enduring relevance in many aspects of life, from decision-making to policy formulation and beyond.

At its core, this statement emphasizes the importance of knowledge and expertise when forming opinions or making decisions.
