" Gómez de la Serna illustrates this with a dialogue between a critic and a sage: Critic: It is true that these pictures do not displease my eye; but since I do not understand them, I cannot like them. Sage: What did you have for lunch? Critic: Oysters. Sage: Do you like oysters? Critic: Passionately. Sage: Do you understand oysters? "
