WAVs problem is one of assumption based on presumption compounded by a very squalid ignorance further bolstered by selective reading (and a very minimal selective reading at that) and, at last, promoted by overweening arrogance. His idiot approach to life would have us mired in an enforced (sorry regulated) mediaevalism that would give Pol Pot a run for his money simply for the sake of his extremely idiosyncratic take on what is, or is not, traditional. Tradition is as tradition does; it changes, evolves, transfiguring itself with each new dawn, as we all must, awakening to the challenges of today, rather than the triumphs (and failures) of yesterday. In short, whilst we reference and revere the sources of our respective crafts, we do so to empower the creativity of the present, which will always be informed by a broader and more dynamic cultural reality that anything ever known by our forebears.
