loool either you l cancel or you don't
Fail...?
You could say "either you -->know how to<--- l cancel or you don't."
You can NOT say that you either ALWAYS L-cancel all of your aerials, shffled or not, whether they hit a shield, angled or not, or the ground (this makes a difference, in case you're ever pillaring somebody) or you NEVER cancel your aerials. It doesn't change how many frames you have to PRESS the button in order for L-cancelling to take effect. Certain situations, though, such as in the dashizwiz example, make it substantially
harder for you to get your fingers to the buttons with good timing. You need to make sure that you get the aerial off, but that you can get an L-cancel off too, and continue to respond in the most efficient way possible. That may not be the best wording of it, but I'm pretty sure that it is what jug meant. With the dashizwiz example, if you can or can't L-cancel (and then follow up) 100% percent of the time, as he did, then it clearly
does add depth to the game, or at the very least, retains that depth which automating L-cancelling would remove.
Again, there's a whole level of the MAJORITY of people who don't get every single L-cancel in a tournament. This is because their level of consistency isn't 100%. I'm not saying that it's automatically 0-10% of what it should be (100), but the fact that you can punish a missed L-cancel is, in my opinion, way too important for it to be automated and taken out as an option.
