The whole accuracy issue, I believe, comes down to musical preference. If you want to be convinced that you are sitting in front of a performacne of Mahler #8, with close to 1000 musicians on stage, then accuracy is important. If you want to hear one of the greats play Beethoven's piano sonatas, then you would want to hear every detail that makes that music great.
With my system, music that is electronic, amplified, filtered, over-miked, and poorly engineered sounds horrific. There is simply no need for that detail, and it is actually to the detriment of the performance. Someone should outlaw those stupid rhythm machines! Plus, alot of popular artists really don't have very nice voices. I won't name names, but I could understand the desire to smooth things over a bit. Who wants to hear all that.
