I'd say it depends. For me art is as much about the artist behind a specific piece as it is about the actual piece. I agree with the person you responded to. I want human feelings in my art, no matter how abstract, for it to truly speak to me!

Have you actually tried the site on a mobile device? It's impossible to read the text and navigation is hell. Wouldn't classify that as "mobile friendly".

Just for clarification, am I correct to assume that this mainly applies to research conducted in the medical field then?

Not to mention that it's free markets that provides the incentive that is needed to come up with ideas and innovation that can break monopolies!

Well, Adam Smith certainly thought they were bad and he is probably most correct about that as well. But they aren't the end of the free market as some people want to have you believe!

The synthesis of the indigo color wiped out an entire monopoly. Before the German chemist Adolf von Baeyer the market relied heavily upon the import of natural indigo from India whom basically got wiped off the market in one season.
In yet another David vs. Goliath display of how the balancing of the market works in action a monopoly fell.
Simultaneously a new market got born; namely the blue (indigo) jeans market.
If you ever doubt that the market can handle the advent of monopolies - look no further than the pants you’re wearing!
