and as another scientist who escapes into photography....

.... this is getting very silly, is it not?  The limitations of the
scientific method are not, even remotely, related to what one can do
with grey inks on paper!  Every detail of that is amenable to
scientific method if the artist chooses (pays?) to make it so.  If the
artist chooses otherwise FINE!  (One could calibrate every batch of
ink, every sheet of paper, ad nauseam.)

Personally I trust more in high-level education and encouraging
freedom of expression, than in tutelage and apprenticeship, especially
at times where the art is changing rapidly.  

Educators try to help in a constructive fashion.
