Okay--thanks, that's good.
I still needed to clarify and apologize!
This is not a new discussion--
Here's an interesting link for the Rock Garden Quarterly; it has an article called "Define and Design: 75 years of Thoughts on the Craft of Rock Gardening" if anyone is interested to read what a bunch of other opinions on the subject are, or were, over the course of a relatively short time in the history of the discussion...

The discussion probably really took off in the early 1900's when the "father of rock gardening" aka the "high-priest" published two landmark books on the subject “My Rock Garden” (1907) and the monumental, two volume encyclopedia “English Rock Garden” (1919).
And, the disciples have been hashing it out ever since.
I guess I'm pretty much a heathen ;)
