It's semantics, but yes, I can agree on that. This would still mean that missing that part is having half the required skillset in my eyes. Maybe even the most important part.
"As for shredders and such, I think they just aim for a different aesthetic."
I've sometimes wondered about this. Do they play soullessly because they actively choose to, or do they just not experience that facet of the music and, hence, feel no need to play with feeling.

I don't enjoy much conventional shredding, but I do like some music that is so stuffed with notes, that there simply isn't time for the notes to have much nuance.
I wouldn't necessarily say that such music authomatically has no soul and feeling. Such compositions can be quite exhilaratingly beautiful in their overwhelmingness.
As I said, different aesthetics.
I get what you mean though, speed doesn't make a lame composition better.
