SIR:

Would you care to speculate how other shihan of Tada's generation would have answered your question? Eg Yamaguchi, Arikawa, Tamura, etc. The late Yamaguchi in particular still has his followers teaching at Hombu Dojo (Endo, Yasuno, Kuribayashi) and also there is Takeda Yoshinobu. Would Yamaguchi have said that his aikido would die with him? Did he have a different model for transmission and emulation?
