"A Mathematician" (Lenat and co.) did indeed attempt to approach creative theorem development from a radically different approach (syllogistic search-space exploration, not dissimilar to forward-chaining in Prolog), although they ran into problems distinguishing "interesting" results from merely true results: https://web.archive.org/web/20060528011654/http://www.comp.g...

"I think you're some kind of deviated prevert. I think General Ripper found out about your preversion, and that you were organizing some kind of mutiny of preverts."

It's not just lobbying. There are entire industries built around the revolving doors of think tanks, NGOs, boards, advisories, "research" institutes, etc.

It's not the only (alleged) intelligence operation that targeted Sweden: https://wikispooks.com/wiki/The_secret_war_against_Sweden

Electronic National ID? Given that people are apparently lining up for Worldcoin iris scans, this would seem to be 'fortuitous" timing.

I'll dodge the question slightly and say that bad execution comingles with what could be referred to as bad taste and intent forms part of the judgement. For example, someone was clearly going for a rustic aesthetic but accidentally introduced a jarringly modernist aspect (excluding deliberate juxtaposition). Or, the intent was clearly to impress the viewer with "sophistication" (a dubious intent in itself), but some aspects are inconsistent or poorly judged. Then there are copies of others' styles (strike 1) executed with poorly matched subject matter (strike 2). Add in banal subject matter or clearly functional art, etc...
