Someone like me who doesn't easily identify the technicalities can benefit from them. IR's strength is the usage of raagas to bring in the right mood (For instance, he used Charukesi, a raga which gives a feel of love & devotion in 'Kaadhalin Deepam Ondru', 'Chinnathayaval Thantha') although the instruments he used were traditional.

And I believe, the term 'Peter' refers to the singing style (desperately trying to be non-Tamil which does turns many TFM lovers off) and not his music.
Obviously if someone grew up listening to songs like "Kamban emaandhaan" it would be hard to transition to "ennodu nee irundhaal" type songs. Kamban emaandhan is a masterpiece from the genius MSV. Ennodu nee irundhaal, IMO, is also a masterpiece from ARR
