Re: "One Point" - is it gone, or is it a matter of semantics?

I was taught about the one-point on my very first day in the dojo. But it's an Iwama-style dojo, and they didn't call it a one-point. Pardon me if I'm wrong (I probably am in anything martial arts at this point) but this concept seems so critical in everything in Asia that it almost goes without saying, and it's only Tohei sensei who placed a primary emphasis on ki, and getting us Western barbarians to figure it out in those days must have been a headache.
