And what exactly is "professional satisfaction," and how is it different from "personal satisfaction"? That's part of the problem. You have inferred a lot in my words that isn't there. Professional satisfaction as in what they think will be best for their own professional purposes. Meaning that they think it would be better for their careers if they throw out what Williams established and do something stellar that supersedes it. The problem is knowing one's own limitations as an artist. They needed to step up to the plate and hit a homer. Doyle hit a single and Hooper fouled out. From what I have heard of both composers, they should have known they could not step in and solely carry this thing, so they should have used more support from the structure established by Williams.
