The argument is most vulnerable to criticism on the grounds that it
overlooks the possibility that not all contemporary artists believe that their works enable many people to feel more aesthetically fulfilled than they otherwise could
presumes, without providing justification, that most human beings are inclined to take the time to appreciate many great artworks
presumes, without providing justification, that the value of an artwork depends on the degree to which human beings appreciate it
overlooks the possibility that the work of at least one contemporary artist is appreciated by many people whose access to the great majority of other artworks is severely restricted
presumes, without providing justification, that the number and variety of great artworks already in the world affects the amount of aesthetic fulfillment derivable from any contemporary artwork
