With all due respect, it doesn't seem like he missed the point. We seem to have gotten into the realm of semantics. You say that horns have different built in compression. Most others seem to say that horns with low compression are free blowing.
Yes, the player can adjust to a horn's high or low compression, but the fact remains that horns differ in with regard to compression. Thus, if we allow that "free blowing" and "compression" can be used to describe the same phenominum, some horns are freer blowing than others.
