Of course he would, and rightly so. The military is not run by analogy.
The rest of what you say I generally agree with. I think the goal of any art form is to create an epiphanous response within the person interacting with the art. It is obvious that this happens, and that certain individuals have the ability to create such art to a greater or lessor extent. As far as my reading of current research in the field of human cognition, it appears that science is very far away from explaining the mechanism, let alone the why of such responses. I think W. J. Bryant sheds as much insight into that area, if not more than anything that science and fMRI has been able to ascertain, but does not the explanation generally follow the application?
I would talk more on this, but I am pressed for mind...time
So I'll leave you with this
------------------------------------------
I had an epiphany
I had an epiphany—just the regular kind.
Hurriedly, I took pen in hand and wrote it down.
I gave it to everyone and they agreed,
it was…“really quite profound!”
I guess… I must agree with them.
Profound: so it now seems;
for time has passed and I can’t recall
—what any of it means!

How long after picking up the brush, the first masterpiece?
The goal is not to obfuscate that which is clear, but make clear that which isn't.
