In LW jargon I'd phrase it as: "It's a system one thing, not a system two thing."

I think that's a great way to phrase it!

I think this is what most people do mean when they use "it's an art, not a science."

I'm a bit skeptical that this is true. I sense that the majority of people don't actually believe that art is reducible.

Yes, you might very well be right. What I meant to say is that I think "system one, not system two" is the general sort of idea that people want to convey, not that it was the exact same thing.
