Legolas,
I don't think it decreases the potency of the didj to talk about how we are inspired, influenced and benefited by it. It could even enhance it when done with respect.
I think that concern refers more to the dilution of Aboriginal culture by over commercialization and lack of respect. I believe it is essential to respect and acknowledge the Aaboriginal cultures that inspire our relationship with the didjeridoo.
In America, Native Americans call non-indians trying to become indians members of the Wannabe Tribe (want to be). Of course, a sincere person who truly has a heartfelt appreciation and desire to learn and be part of a native culture is usually accepted - that is in fact a traditional thing to do in many native cultures. Some serious didj players, like my friend (whom I have not seen in way too long) Randy Graves for example, may even be adopted into Aboriginal families, given Aboriginal names and family relationships.
Here is a good article on didj healing by Randy Graves:

We will make an exception on this excellent article and permit this link (Bonzo)
A Google search on Randy Graves will give you lots more interesting stuff, including the link to what I think are probably the best insdtructional CD's on didj playinng, from beginner to real serious player (I did some workshops with him when he was developing these techniques and he is an awesome teacher):
