You are just using doublethink to shove off every possibility that they are good.

I can say they fail because, I know this may be difficult for you to comprehend, but your opinion...is not any kind of objective truth! =O
Being technically proficient does not make you a good musician, as far as I'm concerned. I'd much rather listen to, say, Kurt Cobain play guitar than listen to John Petrucci play guitar. John's obviously very technically skilled, but he's boring to listen to. I have yet to hear one Dream Theater song that was memorable at all (and I have listened to three or four of their albums, and watched a few videos on YouTube).
So, in short:
- Technical proficiency does not make you a good musician.
- A band's technical proficiency does not automatically make them enjoyable to watch.
As a result...
Dream Theater fails on both counts.
