Trace, no
Heavily reference, sure
Plenty of times a client tells me "hey I want this pose" so I go, break it down and then slap on the details of their character
I am always transparent about it as well, I show each step of the process and the referenced image, and I have yet to get a single complaint

You call out other's mistakes (and invent mistakes in OP's case) because you're insecure of your own work and want to pull everyone else down to your same level and artificially increase the "value" of your own work without actually having to change it
It's very, very common crab behaviour. You might not be aware that you do it, because it's very subtle, in fact, I would forgive you if you realized this and went on your way to become a better draftsman (a person who pushes a pencil against paper; someone who draws. In french it's dessinateur, in spanish it's dibujante, there is no word for it in english sadly), but if you ARE aware of this and still consciously do it then please kill yourself
