I'm being cranky... :-) I realized it was probably known. My reason for making the comment was that I tend to think if one enjoys the photo, then setup or not, one can still enjoy the photo, it being a product of the photographer's eye and mind.
In landscape photography, one doesn't always simply happen upon the scene and shoot it because one is there. As you know, one may go back to the same spot many times, observing the light, fine-tuning the composition, choosing one kind of weather over another. In many ways analogous to setting up a street scene.
