I don't understand this.  There are different "standards" among painters,
and yet one can love both Picasso and Botticelli.  Standard: "an
acknowledged measure of comparison for quantitative or qualitative value, a
criterion."  Seems one can love an engelang and an artlang yet hold them up
to different standards.  Love of diversity should encompass standards as
well.
