There's a lot going on in the world that doesn't fit your oppressively simple outlook. The ceiling of the Sistine Chapel is more than just an image of God. The opera La bohème is more that just a story about poor people. There might be a simplification of this or that going on in art whether text, painting, music, sculpture or other media, but other things are there as well. It does happen often that art operates on more than one level. News text is typically suited to very young readers (shorter sentences, shorter paragraphs, more commas, no colorful adjectives) despite the fact that there can be very subtle implications as well that only much more mature, educated and experienced people will be able to notice. That's some pretty nice spinning to try to distance my example of Renaissance art of an " image of the old man with long white hair and a beard who lives in the clouds" from your assertion that the " concept of the old man with long white hair and a beard who lives in the clouds" is held only by simpletons. I did not say the concept was held only by simpletons. I said it was an accommodation to children. That means it was not the work of children, but the work of adults, who by the way can be capable of higher art as well. Mine is not the "spin" as you put it, yours is. I will grant though that you might not be genuinely aware that's what you're doing.
