Hi,
Torokun. I enjoyed your post.

#1. Superb, insightful, and though you´ll get a rash of people replying with hurt feelings, true.

#2. Ditto, after the sequence starts with initial footwork, you´ll be hardpressed to find free continuance. It would basically become a free-for-all because after the conflict begins, range(maai) is VERY difficult to maintain.

#3. Very important, generally overlooked.

#4. Started getting a little out of my league with internal power and stuff.

And as for you Mr. Joeysola, is this what you were looking for? I think that many people recognize weakness in whatever art they practice but chastizing people and saying the don´t pisses some people off. I´ve read all the posts and I didn´t feel that ANYONE made it sound like Aikido was what you feebily described as the "Ultimate Martial art". IMO
