It's a simple point. In Japanese budo - in Japan anyway which is where I live - you are taught to respect other styles and other budoka. This is a quote from the dojo rules of a koryu.
Quote:
Rule 6. Please refrain from making negative comments in reference to other forms or styles of budo.

So if there are any derogatory comments they won't be from high-ranking budoka.
