After having thought about this whole issue, and after having slept on it.
I think the biggest problem is that most of us IRTC folks aren't actually
artists, and have had no formal art training.  "Surrealism" is a very artful
topic, being voted on by largely non-artists who may know nothing of the
surrealist movement other than seeing a few of Dali's soft-watches.

This round is "Decay".  Art is not a major component of the topic itself.  I
personally expect judging to be more normal.  This round seemed to be the
exception rather than the rule.
