I don't think it necessarily suggests that. It can also suggest that Rob doesn't know much about art, or that it isn't about knowledge at all but instead just empathy. What particularly is boring about it? Is boredom induced by the painting or is it a reflective act by the observer? This is the kind of internal dialogue that comes from making sense of surrealist art. To just write off something as "boring" without further explanation, as Rob did, really says nothing about the paintings themselves.
