Yes, if only it worked that way. More often, people with little experience see what other people are doing and
then argue that it must be the best way to do things because so many people are already doing it. They aren't truly finding or developing their own methods; on the contrary, they are leading themselves to believe that the "alternative methods" are inferior because they don't see them used that much "in the game".
After they hop in and start using what everyone else is using, they'll sometimes start preaching how it's really
the way to produce music. Fortunately, usually these people will eventually grow up and see that they're dealing only with one possible solution -- but because they have already mastered the tools they started learning from the get go, they are quite at home with them and seldom start drawing a completely new map for alternative routes. The most creative ones do, and that's why you'll often see the most prolific producers/musicians alternating between various different working methods, some of which might even seem totally obscure.
