are there facts in a chicken soup?

chicken broth = chicken + water

and in the long evolution of the production of the stock (we call it CULINARY SCIENCE) we get the right method. it's right because it tastes better, it tastes better because of the facts of the matter of the preparation. YES, SLOW IS MUCH BETTER. 

why? MORE COLLAGEN EXTRACTED FROM THE BONES. this is a chemical property, which translates into TASTE. this is a CULINARY FACT.
 
here is a diagram about the construction of consensus about these facts.

see that the info is negotiated via cause/effect inter-subjectively from the outside into consensus and from consensus into best consensus. best consensus' main property is that it's more reliable, more resistant to to and fro from the outside

take picasso's GUERNICA below. 

we examine the painting's formal qualities, the new style it represents (Cubism & Surrealism), as well as the painting's reception (Spanish pavillion 1937 and all the people that have written about the painting) and its influence in subsequent 20th & 21st century art (the intersubjectivity explain the consensus, which takes time to build: best consensus cannot be produced overnight).

the best consensus provides the best explanation for these "notes." this slow layer-upon-layer of reasons through the centuries become a n important value accumulation. the term "masterpiece" simply describes the process.    

this is when i made a distinction between saying:

1. I hate Guernica and 2. Guernica is a mediocre painting. 

there are ostensible differences here to note:

1. is a personal opinion, which one is entitled to; 2. is a statement of "fact" going against the best consensus.

 2. is actually insurmountable. to prove 2. one would have to produce an argument to defeat 81 years of consensus; not impossible, but unlikely.

from 1. to 2. there is an enormous value/gap, which the counter would have to defeat.

Guernica is a masterpiece because of the "facts" pertaining Guernica, which is why it is in the CANON not the other way around.

consensus is NEVER static. it's a dynamic process where each Guernica reviewed and written about, discussed, is different than the previous one. numerically speaking there is only one Guernica, qualitatively there are many.

this is how the work becomes canonical (or part of the canon of a civilization).

consensus lends itself to best consensus. best consensus is just the best of the previous consensus. "best" is important because it is more reliable. less subject to negotiation with plain info.

best consensus is not what makes Guernica a masterpiece. Guernica is a masterpice because of "facts" in Guernica. what the best consensus does is flesh out these "facts".
