Anyway just to suggest a hypothetical argument to fan the flames; does
it somehow seem not quite right for a busy 'Leading Light' (definition:
a turner who publishes excessively so as not to perish) to have work
begun and mostly turned or finished by a talented but unknown
journeyman; barely touched by himself, yet signed and sold as a 'Mr.
Wonderful' original?


The way things have been done for centuries in the arts and the crafts which
aspire to art-range pricing. It's the master's finishing touch that counts.
The donkeys do the rough work.

You wouldn't expect the master to hit the woods and do the logging, would
you? Just a case of where you draw the line....
