"I think this article tells us what purpose art world is actually
      serving. There is a reason for every supply and demand."

Very interesting -- especially when there is so much going

The purpose of Q-tips is obfuscated too. We all buy them to clean our ear canals but the company pretends as though we never do (presumably to avoid law suits).
