It seems to me that when the average person looks at a Bonsai, s(he) judges it by the totality of the effect on him(her). Flaws have very little meaning. We like it alot, somewhat, not too well, etc. Flaws come into the picture when an artist tries to figure out how to improve the effect on viewers or when art critics do their art critic thing. In the former case, I'm not sure the mind set is even about "flaws", but is about possible improvement.
"Flaws" expresses an art critic or Bonsai Judge mentality. It is a mind-set I am not very sympathetic to
Best regards, Fred
