Ascribing "art" as a qualifier to any endeavor simply reduces the

Very true. The only result of trying to dilute or shift the
meaning of a word to make it fit your ideas, is that if you
succeed, dictionaries will need to be revised.
Very false. ;-)
Actually, the term 'art' has always been used also, and even more, in
the sense of 'skill' or 'craft' for a long time. The art of making
bread, for instance, deserves the same respect of the art of making music.
