I think there's some element of truth to that. Like anything experimental/different, I think this show exposes/reveals something about the way everyone thinks. In particular, how does each person's brain "digest" the stories told in anime? What are the cues they pick up on? What makes things "work" or "click"? What are the most important factors for each person? I've probably said it before, but I think the wide-ranging reactions you're seeing to this show tell you more about the personalities of the people speaking than about the show itself. That's what's most interesting about polarizing shows; neither side is either right or wrong, they just perceive (and prioritize) things differently.
