I think both are reconciled by:

> 5. Products fulfilling a purpose are like tools. They are neither decorative objects nor works of art. Their design should therefore be both neutral and restrained, to leave room for the users self-expression.

Let the decorations be decorations and art be art, while the tools we use to observe or create those other things should be instantly transparent extensions of the user.

I strongly disagree. Anything with an aesthetic is to some degree art. The territory of the world's objects does not strongly conform to a map drawn in black and white.
