The Sumpton town council recently voted to pay a prominent artist to create an abstract sculpture for the town square. Critics of this decision protested that town residents tend to dislike most abstract art, and any art in the town square should reflect their tastes. But a town council spokesperson dismissed this criticism, pointing out that other public abstract sculptures that the same sculptor has installed in other cities have been extremely popular with those cities' local residents. The statements above most strongly suggest that the main point of disagreement between the critics and the spokesperson is whether ['abstract sculptures by the same sculptor have truly been popular in other cities', 'it would have been reasonable to consult town residents on the decision', 'a more traditional sculpture in the town square would be popular among local residents', 'most Sumpton residents will find the new sculpture to their taste']
