In response to the OP, I don't really agree. For me personally, some of the beauty of art (in any form) lies in not having to work with rigid definitions and labels, and everything being open to interpretation. There are as many stories in a piece of art as there are people trying to find a story in it. Trying to decide superiority in art will be based on everyone's personal interpretation of that art. If we're trying to decide whether Dan Brown or Proust has better work, we'd be mentally rating it based on several parameters. But the 'score' each work of art would receive on each parameter would depend on how we interpret that aspect of the art.
For string made of two different materials, however, if superiority were to be decided by, say, tensile strength (the higher the better), one material would clearly and inarguably come out on top. That's not true for art.
The word bed actually looks like a bed.
