We sure as fuck aren't going to have 6th graders try to evaluate aethetics of whatever the fuck he was talking about there
It's a completely different piece from Lockhart's Lament >>1.  Read the intro:

Most research mathematicians neither think deeply about nor are terribly concerned about either pedagogy or the philosophy of mathematics.  Nonetheless, as I hope to indicate, aesthetic notions have always permeated mathematics.

I shall similarly argue for aesthetics before utility.

Nothing is said about 6th graders.
