"Not to be padantic or picky, but I find using your serious artistic tastes by the word, 'favorite' diminishes your serious artistic taste."If that's how you view it, fine.... But I'll keep using it, because artistic tastes are so subjective.
Assigning "best" (as opposed to "favorite") is often perceived as "factual", and there has yet to be an agreeable and definitive set of parameters for assessing such performance or ability in a factual manner. I've seen attempts to substantiate such claims, but it's almost always biased toward the person's favorite. (And as I stated elsewhere, I admit guilt when it comes to such judgment of symphony orchestras and classical performers.)
I'll often **think** an artist is the "best" or "greatest" at something, but that's my perception. And for any such claim, it's *never* irrefutable. Same goes for anyone else's claims of such. I think the mistake people make is getting bent-out-of-shape whenever such claims occur where they're in total disagreement with. Because they perceive those claims as factual. (The old adage- "opinion stated as fact"....)
"It seems kid-ish (sp.?) to employ this term in serious discussions of art/the arts."
I could not disagree more. If anything, it offers acceptance to alternative opinion, which I think is the opposite of "kid-ish".... Or what I would call "childish"....
