In fact more so. Elitism has it's supporters.
Have a look around. Seems to me a huge pool of the hugely successful in the music world spent more time singing, writing and playing rather than learning how to play, sing or write "correctly". The end user and supporter of their work doesn't care about how many years one studied, technicalities learned from or with the masters, only whether or not it's worthy of their dollars today. There are more Joe Cockers than Josh Grobans,More Greg Allmans than Keith Emersons.

Kingfrog...
I've noticed something else. You seem, more times than not, to be ready to argue against anything that is said here in the SZ.
Did ANY of what I said resonate with you? You (and others here) are so intense on giving your own opinion about an issue, you don't actually hear and consider what someone else says!
Further, Diki may be very opinionated but I consider him to be a player at least. And I also consider him to be right on the mark with a lot of what he says. If he doesn't have bedside manners, as some of you have stated, so what? Is everyone that fragile inside we can't handle it? What this forum needs is another "earthquake" to stop the nitpicking and put things in perspective.
Awaiting your rebuttal to ME now! Go for it!
Lucky
