Musical technique was never Eno's route. He was textural. His music was never about playing quickly in order to get his point across; it revolved around (at least in his ambient/ambient pop phase) bringing vivid mental images out of the simplest things.
So basically, he was answering the original question in that Brian Eno is a musical genius and trying to argue differently lol.

And second on Madlib. In addition to his being able to play more instruments than most bands, he's a monster with samples and the turntable... Shades of Blue and Blunted in the Bombshelter are two of my favorite albums. And he's covered such a wide variety of music, and excels in all of it.
