The artist doesn’t have to know it’s in there for it to be there. Science works the same way.
And frankly fans can indeed invent intent. You do it all the time with RAC and ICP. The artists indeed didn’t see what you see in it during the creative process but art is always open to interpretation beyond the confines of any single mind including the artist’s. The common intent was to create something for others to enjoy and interpret as they see fit. Shakespeare didn’t know about DNA when he wrote this mortal coil. Yet, somehow he did.

So however it comes off to me, that's how I judge it. Which means I think that mamba line in We Built This City is really dumb, regardless of whatever the songwriter had or didn't have in mind |

My posts are my art. You don't get to say what intentions are, you said so yourself, brof.

Just saying you should follow your own advice. If that is your position "Fans don't get to invent intent." than you should take that to its full conclusion and not guess anybody's intent or assume what they are thinking.
