I personally like to give some freedom for my partner to do her own thing. However, if I am dancing with someone new I will try and "tune in" with her. If she wants that freedom I give it to her, if she prefers to be led every single second then I'll do it. There is nothing wrong with that, I'll just follow her following.

However, even though less enjoyable than being allowed some freedom to express, there are old-timers with very strict leads (i.e. Facundo), who are incredibly musical and precise - making their dancing also enjoyable in a different way. “Blatant leads” as you call them, are really never optimal for creative follows, especially when the lead is sub-par, and insists on leading in spite of the music, or of the follow’s position or weight placement.
