    Challenges→If artistic success required perpetual resistance to determinate concepts, representational and narrative arts that communicate specific truths would be systematically ranked below decorative abstraction, contrary to aesthetic experience.

    The original claim assumes aesthetic success requires a single criterion; actually, multiple independent criteria (communicative clarity, formal innovation, emotional power) enable diverse ranking.
