Ah, Chuck, don't get so fretful!  The point is that as a seasoned tron owner, you know that mellotrons have hard to define attributes that means they never play the same thing the same way twice.  There are a lot more elements at play and we have spent a long time defining them for our own edification.  Unless you model what a mellotron does then a sample replay instrument is a compromise and that's what the Memotron is - a compromise.  Jealousy really doesn't come into it at all!
