Let’s say you’re at an art gallery looking at a beautiful painting. Two guys are standing by you , and you ask them both to explain this painting to you. The first guy is very knowledgeable in art, he’s studied art for almost his entire life. He tells you the age of the painting by looking at what paper was used. By looking at the strokes used, he tells you what type of paint brush was used. Then he goes on to tell you what the colors and shapes used means. What he tells you sounds believable. So then you turn and ask the second guy, who just so happens to be the person who painted the painting. His explanation of the painting is completely different than what the first guy said. He speaks of a different type of paper and paint brush used. His purpose for the colors and shapes used is also different from the first guy. Whose explanation regarding the painting do you believe, the man who observed the painting and used his knowledge of art to give an explanation about it, or the man who painted the painting himself???
