The methods used to write and produce a film score don't bother me if the music is good. Die Hard 5 is a great action score, so I really don't care if a parrot and and bar of soap wrote the music - the results were successful.

The methods used to write and produce a film score DO bother me if the end result I find less than successful. Because I find unsuccessful film scores to be bothersome. Because I love film scores.

The only other thing I will contribute to this debate, is that in my experience on projects, it is rarely a simple situation about what was written by whom. And the bigger the film, the more complex it gets. Lines get very very blurred in all directions, and ultimately no one person could even really KNOW (the composer included) who wrote every note on a film score - it simply becomes so multilayered with contributors that saying so and so did or didn't write a cue becomes an inaccurate simplification.
