But it's different aspects, writing and performing. Whether it's music or anything. To broadly say that you lack respect for someone musically because despite being good at one aspect, they don't do another is literally the same thing as saying "I lack respect for that guy as far as movies go because although he's good at acting, he doesn't write or direct anything."

People can be songwriters and not singers. People can be singers and not songwriters. People can be actors and not directors or writers. People can be writers and not actors. Why would you lack respect for someone for being really good at what they do?

You can't just say "Because I expect..." That doesn't mean anything. I can say I expect a good chef to use only recipes he created and if I find out he uses other people's recipes I could say I lack respect for him because of it. Wouldn't make sense. The guy cooks ridiculously good food. Of course I respect him as a cook.
