It sounds like you are trying to give yourself some self-assurance in not spending the hours in development of a great technique. This is like people who say "Is music theory really important?". How is that even a question? People are lazy, and like to give themselves excuses to not do something they think they won't enjoy. "Well, Hendrix couldn't read music, so I don't either!" - "Well Clapton doesn't have a great technique, and he kicks ass!"
When will the stupidity end?
