Imagine if Michelangelo was sitting in the Sistine Chapel and a tourist walked in and looked up at the ceiling and said, “Oh, wow, that’s really well done.”
Michelangelo might be polite and smile at the tourist and say, “Thank you very much.”
But wouldn’t he be thinking to himself, “How would you know?”
Because the tourist isn’t a painter, let alone one of Michelangelo’s caliber.
Versus if Raphael walked in and said, “Oh, wow, great work.” Michelangelo would feel a sense of pride and say, “Really? You think so? That means a lot.”
