Deconstructed Food in Top Chef

So I've been watching Top Chef and deconstructed food seems to be a big thing among a few chefs. Some excel at it while others FAIL. For example, one of the Voltaggio brothers made a deconstructed Caesar salad which I thought looked interesting and probably tasted very good. Ron, on the other hand, had to deconstruct paella and I guess he took it literally because what he presented looked like a mess.

Deconstructed food is probably more for the experience, right? I mean, you're still eating the same exact thing just separated. That piece of lettuce, the sauce bubble, and the parmesan cheese crisp will still taste like a caesar salad. It's just not all tossed in a big bowl for you.

What do you think?
