There has to be some reason. You can't be as deep into the genre as he is without actively avoiding King Crimson for some reason, and he hadn't even heard an album until a few years ago so it can't be because he didn't like what he'd heard. Did they sound like they wouldn't appeal to someone for whom Genesis and Marillion are the height of musical brilliance? I find that plausible tbh.
