The way BDC defines art is fine. No one can tell him he is wrong for looking at it that way, just like he can't tell us we are wrong for defining art the way we do.
This is why any argument about the definition is a waste of time. As people have stated in this thread a hundred times, everyone has their own interpretation of what art is. That is a large part of what makes art great.
That said, how someone interprets art, has a lot to do with who that person is as a human being. Their definition is deeply tied to who they are, so even if you wanted to be stubborn and try to argue with them about what art is, they are likely too deeply attached to their own definition to ever change.
Point is, it doesn't matter what anybody else thinks about what is and isn't art. Just enjoy art the way you see fit.
