It's not a pre-tense. I'ts just to me artistic taste is a point of view, not a universal truth.

I do have a strong preference towards Lucas' taste for these movies. I also understand that it's not going to be for everyone. While I hope to improve people's opinion of what Lucas did, I don't expect to be able to mind trick anyone into it. I'm no Jedi.

I think that there is something admirable about the creativity it takes to disagree with Lucas' artistic choices. I really do respect that about the people who would have done things differently.

Maybe it isn't so much "how dare Lucas contradict what I had assumed" but more of, "I really prefer the way I was looking at it before".

In the end, as much as Obi-Wan's "truths depend greatly on our own point of view" was a ham-fisted way to smooth out Lucas' decision to make Vader Luke's father, it taught me a lot about how much of a difference a perspective can make.
