I think I now understand better what your criticism was about.
I could try to summarize your point of view as "natural",
wheras I proposed an "artificial" or maybe "designed" way of doing things.

You mention a relation between listener and process, or one could say
"tradition of hearing".

It is constructing vs. playing.

That is really the point, I think.

Sometimes I really want to escape from those conventions or traditions.
I don't want the listener to remember or to relate. I am explicitly
not interested in doing "natural" things, like a piano like envelope,
like well tempered scales.  With these assumptions, "audio design" is
ok for me.  If I wear my electronic music hat, this is mostly the way
it goes. This does not mean that I would like to have a chaotic synth,
with unstable tuning and so on. This would again be limiting.

Playing is also nice, but I prefer to play on my (acoustical) guitar then.
But also electric of course.
