This is an opinion, not a measure of quality...

First, to be a writer, you must first know how to write in whatever language you're writing in. General Art, on the other hand, requires no such direct skill.
To me, the only thing that can really make a writer not a writer is... well... allow me to make up an example:
Sharrie Sue's story uv erotik advintir chaptr 1:
hay der said sharie sue i am mad cuz my bf left me last nite wana fuk ya said jonny az he unbukeld hiz belt nd fcked hir
At that point, it becomes art.

This, again is an opinion.
So, what you're basically implying, is that there is no quality, only common opinion?
And through common opinion, we can decide what is quality work and what is utter tripe?
Thus, there is no good or bad work because nothing exists that everyone can appreciate?
