I actually agree as long as one expects a precise and geometric quilt with a degree of difficulty that requires patience.
Seriously, I believe that those attributes help a person become a good quilter. Patience to process through all those steps. Geometry helps understand the blocks and help with block layout, cutting and construction. Some people can do the math, others do it by rote, and others do it by template - but Geometry it is! Precision is my goal. I like my points to not be cut off and my seams to match and there is nothing quilt-policey about that.
