I have an analogy that might shed some light.

There was a great bagpipe player named Gordon Duncan. He learned the tradition inside and out and won most of the piping contests a piper could win.

Then he started to do some things that were really creative. One of the things he did was figure out how to play the AC/DC intro riff from the song Thunderstruck. Most pipers think it's a pretty cool thing that he did.

But, well, if I had done that, other pipers would probably make fun of me for even wanting to play AC/DC riffs on pipes. Sometimes the messenger is the more important part of the message.
