it's blues-rock, nothing hard about that.

Most great rock guitarists are blues based.
I didn't say it was hard, but it's not sloppy either, every note does it's job. Heartbreaker is universally agreed upon as Pages worst solo, it dosen't help your argument when you call him a bad guitarist and use
that as an example.
One thing you didn't even try to argue is this, he's sloppy and, so what?
So is Hendrix, Townshend and anyone who's ever been in the Rolling Stones (Brian Jones especially), maybe not to the same extent as Page. But rock n roll has never been about precision.
One thing that shouldn't be denied is that Page, when he wanted to be, was a very technically accomplished guitarist, but that was not the reason he became popular, because you have guys like Beck and Blackmore who are undeniably more skilled than Page, what Page had was the tremendous amount of energy and balls, coupled with the talent that he had, that's what everyone looks for in a rock god.
