Defer
Jim, if you meant me, I said "defer". They sometimes differ also. I've been in many circumstances where at some point, the authority of real knowledge has expressed point after point, upon image after image and inspires quiet from less informed people.
In the same way, we do not try to tell Michael Jordan how to play basketball. Or, more to the point of this discussion, people who build backboards or varnish the floors would defer to the real knowledge of "one who actually does" the thing.
Art shows that are judged by people in "Art Related Fields" simply don't "get it" as deeply as painters. Painting is not about dexterity. It's about knowledge -- applied knowledge -- as merely displayed in pigment.
