I was typing up a thing but I think I realized the core issue, so I'm going to post about that instead.
This post, and others like it, aren't C+C in regards to the spriter's work. They're C+C in regards to the spriter himself. Following this advice would make him a better spriter, but I don't think Nayr was asking about that. He only wanted advice on his work, which this post doesn't really contain.
One could argue that if he only wanted that, he shouldn't really be on tSR, but I don't think such an opinion is going to help the tSR survive in the long run. It'd be like a gaming forum populated entirely by the "games are art" crowd.
