No one said that.

No one said that either.
It's generally recognised/accepted that people dance to songs they know. Songs they're familiar with, that are not remixes, or mashed up with something, or sped up/slowed down by extreme amounts.
Usually people prefer to hear the songs untouched, in the same way they've heard them at home, in the video, on the radio etc.
Bearing that in mind, most DJs (who are playing to a dancing crowd) will not mess with the songs too much, because they know people will simply walk off and they'll lose the dance floor.
In addition to that, there are more ways to change genre/tempo than mixing. If a song really needs to be played next, but it's so different in tempo that it would require a large pitch shift............don't mix it. Bring it in at the original tempo using another method.

Well bought the PnT plugin last night and it is pretty Dam good but like i said earlier I don't every make extreme pitch changes.

Perhaps if someone has more time than I, they could do an A-B comparison with VDJ's advanced algorithm, perhaps edit on VDJ at the end of that demo with the same song. I just tested VDJ, was pretty solid at +/- 25% on that track.
But SSL/Serato DJ has an unforgivable master tempo natively.
