Perhaps like jazz vs. classical musicians, one joking about the other's sense of time and the other about their sloppiness or lack of sight-reading skills. Only an insecure musician (or autist) would take those comments seriously. They are different styles of music and require quite different approaches. It's completely okay (or should be!) to make fun of them from the viewpoint of a completely different approach. No one with a proper understanding of the difference in styles would feel the need to defend against such a comment (or take them seriously to begin with).
