Not really. You just sit down expressing something that has emotional qualities the way you can express them with what you have, in whichever way you can do it. I'd be shocked and even disgusted to witness someone playing with validation of themselves as their sole motivation. Acousticrock is quite right in saying that some musicians do that, but then, where is the fun for others in you doing it? Experimenting with sounds in order to articulate what you want to express is one thing, doing it only to show off that you can ''repair and improve'' things is just pointless meandering.
