You basically just: 1. set up a situation 2. explained why it isn't really necessary to look at things in those terms. What you've done by setting up techno's future as "progression vs. body moving" is what academics might call "creating a false dichotomy". This just means that reality escapes the neat divisions we humans like to create. For me, trying to assign a single "original vision of this music" is inherently false, since there's no single "original creator" to *possess* an original, singular vision. I say: make, listen to, buy, and support whatever kind of music turns your crank, and let the historians in 20 or 30 years sort out how the grand scheme of things eventually develops.
