That may be, but how many of these guys are
that obscure? Sometimes we forget some of the names because only one genre of guitar playing may come to mind immediately. Most of the guitarists named here I can recall hearing something they have played. Sometimes learning of others unknown to you might expand your own horizons.
The choices presented give some insight into the people making the choice as well. For instance, while speed is important to me, musicality and creativity are much more important. Hence, I wouldn't consider EVH, or a number of others in the running for "Best Guitarist".
Sorry to dredge the thread up if it offended some of you.
