The quotes below about the changes only happening after O Sensei died should be read in conjunction with other statements in the interview, including the direct rejection of the idea that Doshu was responsible for any split and the acknowledgement that O Sensei and Takeda had a falling out. This falling out happened before O Sensei or Takeda Sensei died.

Well, of course they did, nobody, not anybody, has ever said differently. Nobody here, there, or anywhere is saying that Kisshomaru was responsible for the disagreement between Takeda and Morihei.

I could easily point to various posts by certain people in which they did accuse Doshu of taking the art in a direction that the founder did not approve of or otherwise was unaware of. Thus Ledyard Sensei's long post rejecting the statements that I am referring to. In the meantime I believe that reading the interview in it's entirety demonstrates that Gauren Sensei recognizes that Aikido changed before O Sensei died. He claims that O Sensei continued to have more Daito Ru in him than those who followed but does not deny that O Sensei changed the art.

You mean that he didn't say
Nagare, "the dynamic utilisation of the aggressor's intentions" is the typical form of Aikido that developed after the death of the founder; this is the particularity of what we call modern Aikido.? Maybe you're reading between too many lines for me.
