Mmm... I was thinking more of what a waste it was that I can't understand art, even though I can appreciate it technically. There was a nice bloke from the local art college who tried to school me in the ways of Rothko, Mueck, Schiele, and all those more abstract more modern artists but god, I couldn't understand it at all-- yes, glowy floating squares of color are more difficult than they look, it isn't hard to appreciate Mueck's hyperrealism, and Schiele's just plain weird, but it all went over my head. Or hit my head and bounced back because it was too hard.
