That I believe. Just, I think the goal is normative, like "don't get in trouble / upset anyone", rather than moral or artistic. So it's the type of goal that shows up in the vacuum of actual goals. It is the type of goal that committees and corporate structures are gravitationally drawn to. Which is what I kinda mean by the problem being structural: the way capitalism makes art naturally regresses to a boring and unimpressive mean with bland and frustrating goals.
