This discussion is developing a dichotomy that isn't constructive. 
Kind of like most discussions about religion.

It's all music, we all make music, let's accept that as a given.  The 
original thread had to do with Kris's conflict about his technique 
(effects) getting in the way of his creativity.  This is a valid 
artistic concern which really needs to be answered individually by 
each of us in our own hearts.  There's no right answer here, there is 
no answer that applies to all of us.  It's just part of the creative 
process.
