You make some good points and I, too, am not trying to bash John Stevens, as you put it.

True, and here's the tension between Kisshomaru's vision and Morihei's, although I suppose that in the end Morihei at least tacitly agreed to what was happening.
I wonder if either of them could see where it was going - and whether that mattered to them in the contexts of their respective goals.
Best,
