If it makes your head hurt we should drop it. I just think it's exciting. Obsolete definitions and errors in the descriptions are an excuse to find new meaning, and multiple answers let you also see different meanings, and how they can be all true, and the like. Lol though I think you're more on the absolutist end of the spectrum so this might not be pleasant for you.
I just want to register that bias aside (pro or against emotion, pro or against objectivism), I think emotive response as enjoyment is always okay if it names itself as such. It gets more problematic when it tries to be something else, and problematic squared when it's a mass delusion. But, as you said in the past, it might just be solved by separating in two moments if you need them, first you feel and then you back up with criticism.
I noted this down so I want to say, it may come across as random: one of the things you go up against with the system you're creating is the fact that analysis and criticism are two different things, so they are likely to use different tools even if they're both rational.
