PT58.S1.Q12 Translation "The purpose of art is.."

Noise Dogood

Can anyone help me with translating this statement into a conditional?

"The purpose of art is to cause experts to debate ideas"

JY (and the world) translated it as: "cause debate" --> "purpose of art"
I translated this as: "purpose of art" --> "cause debate"

My rationale was from experience with translating "is" statements: i.e, cows are cool = cows --> cool; the meaning of life is 42 = the meaning of life --> 42

I understand context matters, but here I thought context still allowed me to read the statement as purpose of art is [X], therefore purpose of art --> X. If my reasoning error is misreading the context, then what parts of the stim leads you to read it as X --> purpose of art? If my reasoning error is logical, please point out my oversight!
