Being innovative is more important than being right

This debate escalated quickly; I will delve into the arts after all.The aesthetic preferences of an individual or a group of people does not render a piece objectively right or wrong.I have argued in round 3 that art is not under the domain of right and wrong. In an attempt to refute my argument, my opponent argued that art must satisfy a person's aesthetic principles (preference of music, preference of visual art, preference of the medium(s) used to create the art, and so on) in order for it to resonate with that person. He also argued that "through science and exploration, we have been able to discover what makes something cute."Although it is true that we have aesthetic standards, our aesthetic standards do not render a piece of art right or wrong because frankly, the number of aesthetic demographics is so large [I][II] that a piece of art, like a piece of music, cannot be objectively right or wrong. To name a few, there are people who like pop, heavy metal, classical music, contemporary symphonic music (like myself), rap, techno, celtic music, and many more. Yes, there are even people who like country!Lets say that two people, Timmy and Sarah, meet each other. Timmy is a devout Eminem fan who has purchased and listened to all of Eminem's current albums. Likewise, Sarah is a devout Justin Bieber fan who has purchased and listened to all of his current albums. They both have a discussion about the music they like to listen to; Timmy argues that Eminem is better and that Justin Bieber is a genuine aesthetic embarassment while Sarah argues that Justin Bieber is better and that Eminem is too obscene. Neither Timmy or Sarah is correct because their argument are only backed up by their own aesthetic preferences.The system of math is set up so that there is only one answer to every problem; 8x5 will always equal 40 and the square root of 100 will always equal 10, but art is not bound by objective standards. Other people can criticise a work of art and suggest ways to make it better, but ultimately, the only person who is absolutely correct in his or her judgement of a piece of art is the artist who made it.I http://test.mi-id.com...II http://www.psychologytoday.com...What is more important in contributing to the success of an artist? Good question; an artist's best tool is his or her capacity for innovation. Without innovation, what possibility is there for an artist to succeed, let alone be identified as an artist?It takes innovation to get to the right solution.Oftentimes, the problems we are presented with takes an analysis of several ideas. Consider the burdain of the automotive industry's need to satisfy the demand of the rising megatrends, such as the aging society [III, p.7]. A car designed to satisfy this megatrend would need to have the best in the following attributes: Ergonomically designed boarding, loading and seating solutions. Visual aids for better night and rain vision. Easy-to-use functions even for complicated devices. Timeless design features. Speed and special attention recommendation displays. Side and rear-view cameras. Customized mobility services. It takes innovation to design a car that satisfies the demands of the targeted costumers in the megatrend. Likewise, it takes ingenuity to come up with a solution to any problem that requires divergent thinking to solve.Finally: Being right precedes innovation? "Innovation is important, but it cannot be more important than being right as it depends on being right to be innovative." See my argument for ingenuity in art at the beginning of this argument.
