Drink it the way you like it. I think it is kind of funny that some people who are aghast at putting ice in whisky are more than happy to add a bit of water to "open it up"
I agree with your first sentence 100%. However, there is a difference between adding ice and adding water. Temperature.
In every pub in Scotland room temperature water is supplied automatically. Ice is frowned on. I tend to take blended whisky neat, but will add a drop of water to a decent malt.
I have little experience of American whiskeys.
