Suppose I appreciate Harry Potter. Does it mean because I can appreciate it, I can replicate it?
It's not about whether you personally can replicate it, you stated it was beyond the capacity of all mortals.
I don't see why it would not be possible to know it's beyond the capacity of all mortals if we can appreciate it's greatness, just like I can know a certain writing is beyond my capability.
Your argument it's because we can appreciate, it's within our capability. But with that our argument, I should be capable of replicating any writing that I can appreciate it's greatness.
