And what would those numbers say about the nature of beauty?

But yeah, an opinion on something is fine, it's not a way of finding stuff out, and it's not a claim. No uber-method is being pretended.

I think that art gives us insight into ourselves, which is very useful information. The fact that there are a multiplicity of personal views on art in its many forms makes me think it's so intensely personal that science cannot really address it in any meaningful fashion. Sure, you can take PET scans and pulse-rates, but what does that actually tell you?
