Agreed, but my point was that questions about humans are questions about the Universe (since humans are part of it), and therefore they can be answerable and meaningful. Thus, you could indeed come up with an answer that sounds something like, "it's hanging in a gallery, but our model predicts that it's only 12.5% art".

But I agree with BerryPick6 when he says that not all philosophers make that distinction.
