I'm glad we understand each other.
And yes, it is always a bit difficult to distinguish craft or lack of it, if one isn't fluent oneself in that craft as well!
Which is why I always react when people say that "composer-X is a crappy composer". Before making that call, you need to demonstrate that you yourself are capable of recognizing craft.
We see this so often in posts like "I hate the Rite of Spring.. it's just noise".

In musical criticism, when issues of craft and technical consideration are set aside, what remains is more subjective. However, until technical issues are dealt with, the subjective portion bears considerably less weight.
