I respect your views & want to hear more of them, but that whole "it's all great" mentality is really alien to my sensibilities. I align myself with the most ardent fans of, say, Glenn Gould or Jorge Bolet, who still find stinkeroos in their output -- some of the Beethoven in Gould's case or the Wagner in Bolet's. I studied piano with Blanche Nissim, who was one of Bolet's students at the Philly Conservatory & a lifelong devotee to him. But we used to sit & listen to his recording of the Tannhauser overture & marvel together at how lame the playing was.
