Your analogy is specious, and my tie is ugly.

You're comparing an argument as to what constitutes an arrangement
"legally" with what musicians argue about as "fundamental sonic
character." These are clearly completely separate discussions, totally
orthogonal, that have absolutely nothing to do with each other. One is a
matter of fact, the other is a matter of aesthetics.
