This includes alot of aphex twins because most of his sounds are extremely abstract and not used by others. And his beats are almost never polished rather randomly thrown around.
So with what you said above is aphex more or less ambient because those 2 lines seem to suggest he is and isnt ambient @ the same time.

i wouldn't call aphex twin ambient, he's released some great ambient records but he's not specifically an ambient 'artist' if you will.
like any other style of music you can't just build up a quick checklist and say 'yup, yup, nope, yup' and call something a style. the easiest way i can define ambient music is a very slow paced electronic music with a focus on the maximum amount of sounds produced from the least amount of notes.
