Mad About Drums

Inspired by the "So... what is a fill" thread.
The discussion somehow derailed whenever a fill should be played or not within a song, so this thread is aim to discuss this very subjective topic.
It has to be said that some style of music requires drum fills by default and some others could do easily without fills to no adverse effect to a song.
Michael Jackson's Billie Jean is a good example of a song without drum fills, but it is because it was released as such and we became used to listen to the song without fills, if it has been released with some fills in it, would it make song worse or better?
Does fills break up the "groove" and disrupt the song or actually enhance the music or a section of a song?
Please debate...
