Just in case you missed this bit of enlightenment....

 

$40, 000 Library Mural Misspells Names (It didn't take a nuclear physicist
to realize changes were needed after a $40,000 ceramic mural was unveiled
outside the city's new library and everyone could see the misspelled names
of Einstein, Shakespeare, Vincent Van Gogh, Michelangelo and seven other
historical figures out of 175.  Artist Maria Alquilar will fix the work, but
offered no apologizes. "The importance of this work is that it is supposed
to unite people,'' Alquilar said. "They are denigrating my work and the
purpose of this work.'' The mistakes wouldn't even register with a true
artisan, Alquilar said. "The people that are into humanities, and are into
Blake's concept of enlightenment, they are not looking at the words,'' she
said. ``In their mind the words register correctly.'')
