That is also the same mindset that allows myriad people in any society to think that just because they have the tools for creation,they are automatically entitled for a seat at the table of art making.It is what confuses expectations in most 'knowing' art lovers and provides endless gibberish coming out from cheeky amateurs with a dubious knowledge of mastering a language,sounds,brushes etc.
