This is an interesting debate. Will you be posting more about it on your LJ? I'd like to hear some different perspectives on it. On the one hand I agree with your position, but at the same time, it seems to me that it can be difficult if you go too far outside the genres you're familiar with.
I went to a writer's group meeting, and found that there was a really wide variety there. I thought it was great that they were such a versatile group, but I could see members having a lot of trouble when it came to critiquing poetry, for instance. I have to wonder if the lone poet in the group was benefitting all that much.
