Thanks Bob. If you re-read paragraph 2 and 3 my point is that it is useless to practice many forms for hundreds of different attacks as most pepole would freeze with the adrenalin surge and will have a neural traffic jam trying to do a particular move for a particular attack under real situations.
Well Johnny, I think you missed the cleverly disguised point (2003-121=1882. Ie: The yr the kodokan was founded) ;-)

What you speak of is not a new idea IME. For example, the folks over at http://www.amerross.com/ have been popularizing this idea in recent memory.

Hell, I have a human movement friend who I teaches from the basis of body awareness, not specific situations. I even have footage of Polish police training some aspects of what you suggest. Many other examples etc etc etc

Still, drop me a msg abt the Autralian guy. If he's anywhere close by to me, I may pop in for a visit. There are always new things to be learnt, not matter where you learn them from ;-)
