But Chris, we're not talking about styles at all. We're talking about
something more simple than that, just learning to control the
instrument. Or do you consider playing well a different style of
playing than playing sloppily? Whether you play the traditional tunes
or rock and roll is something that can get people rather worked up,
but that's not what the discussion is. I sometimes think of this in
terms of language. Different languages require you to make different
sounds. If you don't learn to make the sounds first, you can't make
the words, and if you can't make the words, you can't make the
phrases, etc.

I'm sorry, but this is frankly silly. Proving things write or rongue
is what maths is about.
Something may be "wrong" when playing a given style music (like
playing jazz as if it was classical and vice versa) but describing a
style as "wrong in itself" can only be regarded as narrow-mindedness
- can't it?
