I think the idea is basically right, you just need some finer constraints on what freestyling and technical play is:

freestyle (v). - To create rythmic body motion on the spot that accompanies the music one is listening to. i.e. routines are not considered freestyling.

technical (adv). - To play with the aim of achieving as many perfects in a song as possible, with the highest aim being all perfects (AAA) in any song, any difficulty, under any modifier and inside any challenge or nonstop course.

I'm more of a tech player and workin on PA, I don't freestyle to show people I can dance. My left brain is dominant compared to my right. I let my grades do the talkin and to me grades impress me than showing off and entertaining the crowd. Sometimes if I'm bored I'll do some kneedrops and handplants but I can't freestyle if my life depending on it.

What does freestyling have to do with the right side of the brain? Seriously. People act like there is this direct contrast between tech playing and freestyling, but really, it is the same thing, except in tech, you are doing your hardest to get exactly on the beat, in freestyle, you are trying cycling through a possibility of moves that could be layed over the arrow.
