Our experience of everything is different from person to person - vision, for example. That doesn't mean that you can't study them scientifically - because we are more similar than we are different. That's not to say that science is the only valid way of talking about such things - even if we did understand the way we respond to food, for example, it wouldn't be the most appropriate way of talking about what we enjoy eating. My point was really that there's no magic woo involved in art, and understanding how it works seems to me a valuable exercise.
