If you look at code as art, where its value is a measure of the effort it takes to make, sure.

Or if you're building something important, like a spaceship.

In that case, our test infrastructure belongs in the Louvre…

If your implication is that stencil art does not take effort then perhaps you may not fully appreciate Banksy. Works like Gaza Kitty or Flower Thrower don’t just appear haphazardly without effort.
