I saw a very smart man, Mike "Pinball" Clemens, being asked a similar question. He's a very famous former CFL football player and now he's the coach or something of the Toronto Argonauts. He was asked: "if an NFL team played vs. a CFL team, who would win?"

His answer was something like: "It depends on who's game they are playing (because they are very different games, although both are football). If they are playing with NFL rules, then the NFL team would win. If they are playing with CFL rules, then the CFL team would win."

Like in this football example, the RTS principle is the same in TW and non-TW RTS games. Both types reward smart thinking and tactics, just not the same kind.
I wish you had seen a REALLY good starcraft/aoe player playing...
The click speed and the shortcut build order memorising is outstanding...
I havent seen anyone memorising anything in TW series, while in battle.
Balance is an Issue but with a balanced game you see TACTICS on a very decent level something you cant see on a speed dependant and gang fighting genre as "RTS"...
