Not "completely hypothetical" in my case personally. I was listening 
to avant garde, electronic, and loop music before I ever heard of 
Hendrix, so although I was really impressed by his work I can't say 
that it was necessarily a formative experience for me. I reacted too 
strongly to Scott's sweeping pronouncement and responded with a 
generalization of my own. I just know that most of my colleagues have 
a broader range of influences than that.
