That's part of it.  The other part is the technical skill to do turn combinations which are the most difficult things in tango to do well.  More difficult than colgadas or volcadas or whatever the latest fad is.  If one can do turn combinations well, chances are good that he/she has a good enough foundation to do just about anything else.

Oh, and just to be clear, a properly challenging sequence would not include the fluff as part of a 12+ count.
