That's an extreme re-reading. In fact, I explicitly exempted accidents of performance. There are many correct readings. But none of them are correct (accidents excepted) unless they respect what has been specified by the composer. In those terms, with respect to the majoriy of new nonpop performances, well-wrought Midi remains to my ears the clear winner.
