"if the intended observer can't independently identify it as art, it's not"
Then what makes you think that you're always the intended observer for a particular piece?
But what I meant by "explain" was more the other way around - if the intended observer can't independently identify it as art, it's not. Mostly, really, I just tend to get a little upset over the pompousness of declaring something fairly trivial you've done "art", because you can construct some platitudes about it being a commentary on some social issue.
