There's a post where he says it's not about blending. There are numerous posts where his says it is not about the relationship between Uke and Nage (i.e. blending) but about what he calls body conditioning and power (both terms that he and others refuse to define). I suppose I could dig up all these quotes and then put them in a post if it would be helpful.

It would be very helpful if you would at least provide an antecedent for "it." Do you mean aiki, or aikido? Or something else?
Remember that, in Dan's view, aiki is an independent concept, and can be developed totally outside of the aikido context. Whether you agree with him or not, that's the way *he* thinks. So if you're going to critique his statements, it's only fair that you be very clear about what he actually said.
