[Tango-L] More Nuevo bashing. Why??

I wonder if the nuevo scientists stopped to think why those ways are not 
common in traditional tango.

The traditional dance is the result of letting the music and the dancers' 
feeling for it select what works. Nuevo is the result of using what remains.

Here's a test of the 'musicality'. Take the first two videos on

and imagine the picture from #1 played with the music from #2.

Would you even notice the switch?
