Imagine this crystal-clear painting being cast as a giant, ten-thousand-piece jigsaw puzzle. Now, imagine a dishonest blowhard, journalist, or nihilist -- a pip -- plucking a piece, any piece, or a handful of pieces, from that painting. Then imagine that pip waving those pieces before a public who had never before seen the whole picture of that masterpiece. Using glib words and dishonest non sequiturs, that pip harangues his audience: In tearing down the great value of Dali and his masterpiece, that pip captures an unearned ego trip.
