I suspect another variable may be at play here: "Ambiguity Tolerance".
This Weissman Score may provide a great test to determine where someones tolerance for ambiguity is, based on how useful or useless they think a metric like this might be- but then, if the WS becomes useful for determining AT it will then become less useful for determining AT because it's perceived usefulness will have increased, which will then make it more useful... I think I feel my AT falling.
Well, in Canada, we have this:

Artist-Run Centres support artists, in part, by paying artists fees, thus allowing them to explore approaches to creating cultural dialogue (of which "entertainment", with all it's loaded cultural assumptions, is a subset) that don't require a salable product (such as installations, performances or other non-permanent works). There are other approaches, this is just one that I'm directly familiar with.
