Fact one: Takeda awarded the Kyoju Dairi to Ueshiba in Ayabe.
Claim analysis: What Ueshiba had learned in Hokkaido and precisely how it was different from what he learned in Ayabe is pure supposition on your part. [snip]Why leap to conclusions?

Similarly, Fred, broad-brush resemblance is not essential essence. At least Cady has 1-1/2 facts to support her truck. She is not making statements like "All Asian arts have these internal skills at the higher levels," without having practiced those arts' distinct training methods or speaking Chinese, Japanese, or the language of the Asian martial art in question.
