Well this is the same.

Not quite. By the way, we have forgotten about the "mass consciousness".
A fraud?
You know I always remember in this case, the Criminal Code and the wording of Article. 159:

Fraud, that is, stealing another's property or buying another's property by deception or abuse of trust.

There is an element of deception, when the artist on TV praising his painting? Deceiving lover of his paintings, when admiration for his paintings?
Abusing the confidence of the audience whether the critic, when assumes that these pictures will remain on for a long time in the history of art of the country by this artist?
