Well, if you're taking a shot at me, rest assured that I have checked with a number of good sources, including Chen Xiao Wang, Liang Shou Yu, and others before I state something as fact. But then, if you go buy a book on any Asian art of note, you'll notice that the qi stuff is mentioned in the literature. They take pride in it, just like O-Sensei took pride in writing his oblique references to the same thing in Aikido. Of course, if you don't know mathematics, you'd probably question my assertion that adding and multiplication are in all branches of mathematics and ask me to prove it.
