It's semantics, but yes, I can agree on that. This would still mean that missing that part is having half the required skillset in my eyes. Maybe even the most important part.

I've sometimes wondered about this. Do they play soullessly because they actively choose to, or do they just not experience that particular facet of the music and, hence, feel no need to play with feeling. I know not everyone prioritizes this thing as highly as I do, but to me it is absolutely necessary for music to be good, that it is played with feeling. Which is admittedly a hard thing to define.
