Summary

This quote by Martin Luther King Jr. suggests that while ignorance can be harmful, sincere ignorance coupled with conscientious stupidity is even more dangerous.

Rumors sound of galleries asking artists for upsized art and more of it. I've heard of photographers asked to print larger to increase the wall power and salability of their work. Everything winds up set to maximum in order to feed the beast.
