Tolkien: Writes a complex, multifaceted story set in a rich universe in a single elegant novel across three volumes.

Martin: Is five books into his trilogy with at least two more to go and still has no idea where the story is going.

I think I know which approach I respect more...

Totally fair criticism but I think there is value to GRRMs writing that lies outside his ability to contain his story and marshal it towards a satisfying conclusion.

There is something very captivating about his writing despite its many flaws.

What I mean is, Einsteins existence doesn't have to make me lose respect for other physicists. You don't have to be one of the absolute legendary best to achieve something valuable.
