there lies the problem. if a teacher, who knows nothing about internal and couldn't exhibit it, but good at external, tells his/her students that what they are learning is internal, is all about that ki (queue up the song "all about the bass") . the students would believe it and thus, we usually have ki/aiki/IS wars on aikiweb and elsewhere.

To say nothing of the teachers who know all kinds of stuff about internals and exhibit it but don't teach it. Or the teachers who exhibit internals but don't know anything about it. Or teachers who teach internals but can't exhibit it.
Or the teachers who exhibit internals and may or may not know anything about it, but teach something which may not be the best way for students to learn it.
Or the teachers who know, exhibit, and teach internals, but cannot abide other teachers who know and exhibit internals but teach in a different way, and insist the other teachers know nothing, which leaves students who may or may not have any idea what they are feeling or what they are doing confused as to what the whole thing is about.
