Oh, I don't disagree. In fact, I would be willing to bet that one of the reasons he uses stencils and the medium of street art as his vehicle for high art is that very idea that separating the work from the artist is, if not impossible, very very difficult. This is something that Duchamp played with extensively with his readymades, which still upset and even anger people. I have to wonder what it might have been like for artists like Duchamp or Magritte if they'd been born in the era of streetart, computer manipulation and the internet.
