The application of cosmetics – used as a metaphor in one of our precedent comments that was flagged by You-tube as spam – was to consolidate the point raised by the other accompanying comment. The point being made by both comments (as one entity) was to highlight the fact that the VALUE of an original artistic work is not necessarily increased by adding CONTENT to it.
Adding material to an original film script (e.g.) to make sure that the finished product has an overall screen duration of exactly, say, 90 minutes, does not necessarily improve the QUALITY of the said film script by simply adding trivia to it … for the sole purpose of generating QUANTITY.
The convergence of CONTENT (as Dr. Gurry mentions) into one single artistic work, invites a proper evaluation of each and every individual component that makes up the finished artistic work. The value of a multiple CONTENT work, therefore, does not rely necessarily on the VOLUME of any of its individual components, but principally on the QUALITY – and not on the QUANTITY – of each and every individual component.
Isn’t it true that the financial value of the one SINGLE DIAMOND on a diamond ring is much higher than the sum total of all SIX ZIRCONS that surround it? If cosmetics happen to be considered to be more valuable than the person’s face to which cosmetics are applied, then all unattractive women wearing make-up would be considered to look beautiful – regardless of their basic (unattractive) facial features.
