Mein Furor...
So, I always am getting these what ifs...
What if you found a portrait done by Adolf Hitler. Never mind where or how, we can fill that in later. It's one that no one has ever seen before. Hey, these things turn up from time to time. And you know it's authentic. Doesn't matter how. Here's the deal. What if it were brilliant? Absolutely the most moving, tender picture you've ever seen...or for that matter, anyone else? A picture that no one can look at and not feel its power. Pure brillance. Absolute beauty. Absolute truth. Adolf Hitler...

It begs the question: Is anyone every really, truly evil?
Maybe a piece such as that would give us insight into those who seek out and wreak havok upon the Earth?
Or I could be me a Mercedes-Benz. My friends all have Porche, and maybe God's making amends.
It has become common place to enjoy the art without appreciating the artist. Take Tom Cruise as an example or any numerous ball players. You can enjoy the art without liking or agreeing with the artist. It would be hard for me to tell anyone that he painted it.
Actually, it doesn't beg the question, it "raises" the question, or "begets" the question.
"Begging the question" is a logical fallacy also known as petitio principii.
Just saying.
