Main reason behind my posts here lays in my experience. Few years ago I had an rec engineer/mix engineer/producer enforcing lamb of god type of sound upon my band, although we were very strongly against that. He just kept pushing. And that's why I am acting this way here, from personal experience. A suggestion is one thing, but shoving down one's throat what you think is 'right' is what I have problem with.
I understand all what you are saying here guys though.
