It's like the discussion going on in another sport,French boules, where coziness players hate when competitive players shoot the boules out. Real curling is based on takeouts, think how boring this game would be by only having to push the stones into endlessly, as if in French boules only had to roll the balls into. The funny thing is that when the complainant players are pressed enough, they suddenly start itself .... bowling! I think that it is basically a matter of personal opinion, temperament and taste, and a dispute between coziness and competitive players
