Remembering Laura Branigan´s "Self Control" cover version in 1984 being higher ranked in the charts than the original from Raf. Both entered the charts basically simultaneously at the time.

Obviously it is impossible as you already know, but attempting to do so can result in a new song and that's a great thing. There's much to be learned from trying to emulate your favourite artists and the results will always be you not them. And that's nothing but good in my opinion. I read the article too. ♂️
Addendum: if your point is solely on gear and people being paralysed and not making music because they don't have x gear or X technique, that's a completely different matter and I agree with you that gear is not what maketh an artist sound but the way the artist utilises it and how their TASTE influences their decisions.
Edit two: and as a counterpoint to the gear point, here's squarepusher's take on that: http://symbioid.com/pdf/Tech/Collaborat ... ?view=FitH
