I appreciate your comment, however in my opinion it DOES have to do with poetry because the poets are performing their poetry. It is not simply going up to the mic, the audience will lose interest if the performer has nothing to say. What you're saying is equivalent to saying comics performing at a comedy club is not about comedy.
Now if you say there should be more emphasis on the writing (which Keith Roach says in the clip) over performance--I would tend to agree with you.
I've also seen far more bad presentations create weak auras for poems that would otherwise be strong. What they're saying here still has relevance.
