Oh, I'm in no way against tonality. Actually, I wouldn't call my own music atonal. It has its own tonality, sometimes clearer, sometimes less, even if it's never in a minor or major key. And I don't think I'm "going completely against the grain". (And honestly, I don't know of -any- composer who does in all aspects.) My own music is very traditional in many aspects. My points are in no way meant to pit "tonality" against "atonality", in contrary! I rather think that making such clear distinctions ultimately isn't fruitful.
I can understand your points quite well in any case.
