I'm sure yours look great talking that way, but 
if a puppet is designed to have a moving 
mouth....shouldn't that also be well 
executed?   I don't think it's an "obsession' to 
strive for good lip synch any more than wanting a 
marionette to walk correctly.  Isn't one that 
walks convincingly better executed than one that slides across the floor....?
