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.

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.
