You wrote that when you left Aikido, you "had a duty" to tell your instructor why and tell him about the training methods you have found. That is a pretty strong statement. You didn't just chit-chat with him and causally say, "Yeah, I found a school I like better." You felt duty-bound to explain the I-method.
My teacher is investing quite some effort into helping me learn Aikido. So, when I happen to be able to give something back, to help him learn and improve, I also do consider it my duty to do so. Everything else would be disrespectful IMNSHO
