The ability to play fast is one more tool available to you. You need a lot of different, compatible, skills to play well.

Think of them in terms of the vocabulary and rules of grammar and usage that you need to know in order to express your thoughts clearly and effectively in speech or written word. That's why the 'technique vs. feeling' argument keeps going around in circles. Guitar playing is a form of communication. Ya gotta put it all together to play well.
