I take those posts at face value. That is why I have so much trouble with similes and metaphors.

I recall you asking for princiles on which to evaluate koshi nage; do you have principles in mind to distinguish between acceptable and unacceptable variations of techinque?

I was asking for those because the previous poster was hinting at some knowledge of them and not because I have them.
A list of universal principles that can be used to identify a flaw in a waza would be great, but I am not optimistic about defining it any time soon (Hanmi as a principle should probably be on that list).
So what remains is the form, it is not ideal, but this is all there is for now, the form
is the principal and this is why respect to the form is important.
