This is rather the nub of it, I think. Techniques that do not clearly align with a particular school in the U.S. tend to get scorned--not so much openly (I've managed to get a few rhymed, un-metered things into print)--but as a matter of perception. It's a real problem with the way the po-biz gets sliced and diced.
