The message you made this reply to did not include that term in it.

I have seen no one offering as an example any music that meets the 
critieria I identified as "borderline incompetent." Maybe I'm 
artificially limiting the applicability, but that's precisely my 
point.

Christopher has identified an excellent reason why jazz traditions 
are different, one that resonates with my experience of playing 
French 18th-century music. But most of his examples (all but one, if 
I'm counting correctly) are not music that is notated in 6/4 with the 
half note as the beat, but music that is notated in 6/4 and has the 
QUARTER NOTE as the beat. 

That's a possibility I didn't consider (since it doesn't really exist 
in traditional music), but it also is a possibility that isn't part 
of the limited set of circumstances I said were problematic, since 
it's not music in 3x2/4 notated as 6/4.
