I agree with this, but I think he meant it to be rather negative.
For the record, I think Scott was not quite correct. In my opinion, the
Holocaust sets can be considered to be "art", whereas I feel Dan's intention
was a jest. Of course, it may be that Dan intended his scene to be a
contemporary satire of the Holocaust sets...
Both Dan and Scott are good guys, and I’m sure neither of them wanted to
upset anyone.
