It's jolly nonsense, of course - and as you say, certainly not John's view - although it might well apply to certain lesser English composers....
When, in the 1990s, I presented a classical music programme for the BBC, one of my regular guests was John Quinn - now MusicWeb’s Editor-in-chief. John was (and, I imagine, still is) an RVW fan and I well remember how he used to use a wonderful phrase to describe how detractors saw the composer’s scores - “cow pat music”.
