JEE ZUS, The worth, merit, of a painting, any work of art, is subjective, in the eye of the beholder.
The traffic report is breaking news and subject to error. But I've never seen such a report not qualified with, 'at this time' or ' casualties are expected to rise among the critically injured'.
Do you really think that news organizations send out a reporter unable to state 'what we know at this time.......' and who then misstates the numbers by a power of ten?
Your arguments are.........strained; the opposite of rigorous.
