That's a great question.  I agree with you.  Mastery and delivery are
everything.  Mastery is something that just can't be faked, and it requires
a lot of dedication to reach.

If incorporating canned loops is your bag, then own it!  :)  Nobody was
supposed to buy Beatles records because guitar music was on the way out,
remember?  Neo-traditionalist of any genre judge others while 
simultaneously
allowing their own innovations to pass as acceptable.  Pick any genre since
the beginning of recorded music.

Are the two ends mutually exclusive? I'd argue that they aren't.
