Actually I think he engages with your point pretty well. You say:
>he simply doesn't have an eye for art
and
>he keeps pretending that the only way to improve is to expend more resources.
But he says:
>By the way, for people who asked me why I don't just learn to do better art myself, this is why. To learn to do better art, I'd need to spend at least 6-12 months. (To think it takes less is insulting to artists.) I just don't have the time to not be writing games.
It seems correct that for him to develop an eye for art, would require him to expend resources.
How is he supposed to develop an eye for art? Listen to all the comments on his posts? I don't think so, random internet comments are rarely a good source of advice. Developing a taste for art that will actually improve his games will take time and study and possibly even trial and error. And applying that taste once it's developed will take even more time. And it seems totally plausible to me that he can't afford to spend those resources.
His argument is very specific to his own situation. But it seems likely to be correct about his own situation.
