Wrong. It came out that they couldn't read music. That's not the same thing. Tons of extremely talented musicians can't read music (in fact, the better musicians tend not to be able to), but they sure as fuck can play.

Robert Johnson, Hendrix, Page, Clapton, Eddie Van Halen, Slash, Angus Young, Tony iommi, Tom Morello, Adam Jones, Jamess Hetfield, Dave Brubeck, BB King, SRV, Tom Petty, Lindsey Buckingham, Mike Campbell, Tommy Emmanuel -- none of them can/could read music (and that's probably not even a short list).

those two invalidate your argument fully.

Aesthetics wasn't in question.

aesthitics is in question when it's a subjective "taste" that's trying to be argued objectively.
