Thanks for sharing @rachelsvparry... I like that interpretation as craft being a "subset," and I agree that it is, in many situations.

Sometimes I observe the ostensible "critics" shoot themselves in the foot with their insistence on abstraction and certain forms of expression... and next thing they are fawning all over ancient Asian pottery that directly contradicts their metrics... claiming their standards are somehow "different" when something is old enough.

As you said, very little to substantiate these opinions.
