Similar to when we elect an alignment relative to another. If 'with' -> all good, accept even the bad and irrelevant. If 'against' -> all bad, reject even the good and irrelevant. Saves space/effort in the brains of those that do not care to support > conditional distinctions.

Artists can influence deeply. It is very hazardous to follow the wrong ideal... socially and pragmatically.
