So more than one way exists, Mr Wagner. Now... these terms, 'artful' and
'clumsy', seem to modified or affected by personal views, experiences or
backgrounds; after all, one cannot say 'this contains (n) units of art' in
the same manner as 'this contains (n) degrees Fahrenheit'.

Might it be, then, Mr Wagner, that these ways contain not as much 'art' as
much as 'what I like and the rules I have coded into the program which I
call The Beautifier'?
