Where I am going with this: I'm going to discuss, over the next few posts, the fact that no matter how "realistically" (or not) you wish to draw, you must always make interpretive choices. These choices include how much you are abstracting from your own perception of reality. It is your work in making these choices that gives you a framework for developing your own style.

How does heavy relate to deep?
I think the arguments rely on the assumption that a piece of artwork is a linear step away from interpretation. I think one could just as easily argue that the perception of a thing automatically translates into the creation of a mental construct, and a piece of art is simply a translation of the same perception using a different medium. If so, then art is parallel to imagination, not a step removed from it.
