There's a certain balance to be had in teaching. With kids today in my 6 years of teaching I never had good luck getting them to "sound like this" but rather they seem more responsive to things like "sound like you" if that makes sense.
I can understand where Segovia was coming from but in all honesty having read and watched his interviews, he was quite the snob even in that era. Williams just confirms what I already thought.
We have snobs even today, the issue is not what they think of the music though, remember we don't play guitar to make critics happy.
