Yossarian对Catch-22条款的绝对简单性深深地感动了，并发出了尊重的哨声。'那是一个捕获，捕获22，“他观察到了最好的。” Doc Daneeka同意了。Yossarian同意。关于它的完美零件具有优美而令人震惊的椭圆形精度，就像良好的现代艺术一样，有时Yossarian并不确定他完全看到了它，就像他从未完全确定好现代艺术或Appleby眼中所见的苍蝇一样。他有奥尔（Orr）的话要欣赏阿普比（Appleby）的眼睛。
(Yossarian was moved very deeply by the absolute simplicity of this clause of Catch-22 and let out a respectful whistle.'That's some catch, that Catch-22,' he observed.'It's the best there is,' Doc Daneeka agreed.Yossarian saw it clearly in all its spinning reasonableness. There was an elliptical precision about its perfect pairs of parts that was graceful and shocking, like good modern art, and at times Yossarian wasn't quite sure he saw it at all, just the way he was never quite sure about good modern art or about the flies Orr saw in Appleby's eyes. he had Orr's word to take for Appleby's eyes.)
Yossarian经历了深刻的实现时刻，因为他考虑了Catch-22条款的简单性和复杂性。他承认它的复杂性，对他认为是荒谬的特殊代表的钦佩回应。 Doc Daneeka同意，确认其意义。这突出了Yossarian认识到这种情况的悖论的更深入的了解，这种情况既清晰又混乱，就像解释现代艺术一样。
与现代艺术的比较强调了Yossarian为完全掌握周围荒谬的斗争。就像良好的现代艺术可能使观众感到困惑一样，Catch-22悖论使Yossarian在理解和困惑之间摇摆不定。他对奥尔（Orr）对阿普比（Appleby）眼睛的看法的依赖说明了在混乱中的感知的复杂性，强调了叙事中主观现实的主题。
