Why is it weak reasoning to infer artistic inability solely from an Egyptian figure’s composite view?
Answer & explanation
A convention can prioritize meaningful, legible features.
A choice of visual rules is not a direct test of skill. The system should be evaluated in its own context and across evidence of practice. Inferring inability from difference alone imposes an unsupported standard.
