Yup. And you made something explicit that I should have: "right", in this context, means "right for this particular person", not "one of the Elect" (or, at least, not necessarily one of the Elect . . . ).
There's lots of very good writers I wouldn't workshop with, but if I were putting together a workshop again (and, who knows, I may at some point, although I think the first readers thing is working better for me, lazy guy that I am), writing ability would, once again, be a small factor (even though the group that I did put together had fine writers in it, and got more).
Which does, by the way, lead to a notion -- maybe what a given person needs isn't necssarily a workshop, but one or more first readers.
