"Not in the best interest of tango"?

How about a rationale behind that assertion?

Should we second guess the porten~os? 

What is in the best interest of tango? How about allowing people to create their own niche rather than forcing the will of the majority (or space consuming minority) on everyone? It takes nearly an entire room of traditional dancers to create a traditional milonga, but it only takes 3 or 4 couples to turn it inot a nuevo fiesta.
