3. So, forgive my confusion. Are people impressed by the result of the accident or by the work itself?

Because my take is that it is only interesting because he did not have the skill before and he does now.

The work itself is no more unique or interesting than these Arabic stone engravings from the Alhambra palace in Granada, Spain. And I would suggest it is much less difficult to accomplish. Stone carving is absolutely unforgiving. There can be no mistakes.





And that's just one example among many in the history of image making.

I think it's an interesting development based on brain damage, but that is sort of like being impressed that chickens lay eggs. It's what their bodies do. They have no control over it.
