If you look at vicente amigo, tomatito or josele they do things that they themselves doesnt consider flamenco, but play out of curiosity, personal expression or wanting to develop and communicate with other genres of music. Jazz, rock and classical musicians sometimes play flamenco and flamenco musicians sometimes play classical, jazz or rock, i dont see any problem there. A guitarist could be able to play things that could be considered very "puro" by some people but at the same time have an ability to play other types of music, that moves them or they find interesting. But just as paco doesnt becomes a classical guitarist just because he plays rodrigo or de falla - a classical, rock or jazzguitarist doesnt become a flamencoguitarist just because they play paco. Every music has different requirements, traditions and formative rules and "pureza" as a compliment usually, with a few exceptions, is reserved for artists that are born into it, gypsy or not.
