Not really. Because we're sharing our perspective on things, not imposing it on others. I shared my personal view on it, but I never once said or hinted that it applies to them. If I'm imposing it on them, then it becomes a contradiction.
For example: “you are saying that you are right and they are wrong” is incorrect. I never implied that, nor anything close to that, so there's no contradiction.
And I think I also said that once we understand their perspective, then we can view the art from our own lens, which in turn will give us a fair comparison and understanding of the art.
Think of it this way.
I created an art. Fiction. Drama. Film. Abstract painting. That work was based on my own experiences and the surrounding environment.
Now, here's someone reading/watching/looking at the art I made. They said, “they don't know anything about writing a story” or “what a bad director, they should stop!” Or, “that's now how you do this painting”.
But there is a story behind the art I made. There were factors involved which influenced my thinking, my approach, and my style.
Which perspective then is correct? The third-party or the creator's?
The third-party failed to understand the creator's perspective and are judging it from their own lens _only_. If only they tried to see it from the creator's perspective before using their own lens, then they can give a proper and fair review.
That's how I see it. I often look at art and find the perspective of the creator first, so I can understand why they did the way they did it. I'll be able to appreciate and connect with the creator as well. Once I am confident that I've unlocked the creator's perspective, then I can look at it using my own lens.
By the way, this approach is not my own creation. It's how we were taught in school in our English subject, when reading classical books. I like the approach and I find it fair.
