What matters to a patron, I think, is what makes them feel like they can look good to their friends and peers. If the statement explicitly provides what the patron can parrot, or better yet can reinterpret having really gotten it and give it, to others, then it'll be additive rather than distracting. Artists would then have fun working on how to make patrons feel like, in the words of @KathySierra, they kick ass.
