Not true.  You can get really cool things happening when you use two 
unsynced loopers and do rhythmic stuff, you just have to loose your 
idea of traditional time signatures and tempo.  I was doing stuff with 
Will Wright a few weeks ago and he wasn't synced to me and we had some 
very interesting moments.  I need to do that more.
