Chatzebussi,

No - you are an expert!  You know what you like and why you like it.  It 
seems outrageous to me that someone would even think that they should try 
and mimic the effect of one type of photography for another and expect 
anything but crap.  OK I'll give some ground to illustrators who are 
looking to emulate a "look" for a certain effect i.e. Polaroid borders and 
antique processes - but that's a PS illustration art.  Seems to me finding 
the highest level of craft and special qualities in the 
"straight"  (if  that concept can even apply now) digital mode would 
produce far more worthwhile images.

just a rant
