There are of course Argerich's detractors who believe that she is a brainless virtuouso who plays fast just to play fast, or plays violently just to play violently, simply because she can.
Horowitz's critic accused him of similar "crimes." To fall into the same musical category as Horowitz is never bad.
Yes, when Argerich plays, the music is as much hers as it is the composer's.
And that is what makes her a great interpreter.
Every time she performs, she brings something new to the music.

Musical performance should be anything but homogeneous.

If you want something performed specifically the way Chopin wrote it, you can find that elsewhere.

Look to Argerich, though, for pure originality. You'll find her innovative genius throughout this wonderful LP
