What an absurd assumption,what does 'theoretical' mean? There are 4 categories of people who can like Snyder
1.Peers -fellow directors or storytellers
2.Crew- technical support staff on films, camera men ,stunts people etc
3.Actors- people who know him as a director/person first hand
4.Fans- People who for whatever reason like his work/films
There are plenty of people from any category that like him, examples are many and they are vocal enough to voice it not some nebulous 'theory'
