You cannot judge and evaluate a teacher's style because you don't have the knowledge and the credibility to do it. It is a sign of lack of humility as well.

Hmm, my instructors (all Japanese) evaluate other teacher's styles all the time - both postiviely and negatively, without seeming to worry about humility. Myself, I have twenty years in, how long do you have to hang around before you can render an opinion? For that matter, even a first-timer walking off the street has to evaluate a teacher, otherwise how would they choose where to train?
Best,
