@Whatevs.
Aren't we simply discussing the value we might place on whatever science could tell us about art, the different subjective meanings individuals might take any given work to represent, above? We don't seem to be discussing a subject that science -can't- tell us something about. I think we both agree that in some sense neither of us gives a shit what science might have to say about art, we both agree that science cannot replace art. Neither of these things, though, make art immune to science.

I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
