&gt; Taste is knowing what is good — being able to recognize it.<p>&gt; Skill is the ability to build — to do what’s needed to do the work.<p>&gt; Taste and skill are totally independent.<p>This is the crux of the article, and I&#x27;m not sure what to make of it. Some people have argued the opposite as well.<p>When the whole argument rests on a big assumption, I&#x27;d expect some data to back it up. If I don&#x27;t agree with the premise, the argument falls apart.
