Indeed we have our path to follow and one should do the budo one thinks fits best. But O'sensei's words followed his techniques.

Don't forget that in his mind everything is one, i I believe that he saw his spiritual teaching as being just as much Aikido as his technical teaching.

Actually, I think later in his life he was not doing much of any technical teachings and was mostly focused on his spiritual stuff.
To me the learning of technique is not the goal, but what makes any technique magical is; which IMO is Aiki as taught by the IS guys
