I think that we are having a semantics problem.  While it is true that 
  the Gnome, Tango, and KDEClassic themes are totally neutral, 
un-themed, generic, no-style, and etc. (what ever) -- they have to have 
some style otherwise they would look identical, it is also true that 
some other icon themes have a much stronger thematic aspect than these.

I suppose that even the icons I made with the intention of their being 
totally unthemed have some theme aspects [see attached 1, 2, & 3].  In 
this case, I did choose a color for the shading to match KDEClassic. 
But, is that a theme?

Just to remind you, my concern about icon style is not one of taste but 
rather of usability.  This was a large issue with CrystalSVG.  It is 
much less of an issue with most Oxygen icons except that some of them 
seem to have some of the same problems (e.g. lack of tonal range, high 
average brightness).

I suppose that even the icons I made after that which do not include 
shading to match KDEClassic still have some style [see attached 4, 5, & 6]

IAC, the point which the spec should probably make is that icons in 
HiColor should be *more* neutral.  Which would be more correct if there 
is no 100% neutral.

I also note that I consider some of the other points in the posing much 
more important than the fine distinction between very little (less) 
style and no style.
