By this you mean IS training?
And that the blending takes on a new meaning (and some people DID say it is not about blending, timing, leading, Etc. - but let's leave that aside for now), do you see this "new meaning" expressed in O Sensei and if so where? Can you describe the new meaning that this blending takes on in the form of a defense against an attack?
If the argument were merely that Harden Etc. have added a new skill for Aikido we wouldn't be having this conversation. They make lots of bold and well known claims.

Hi Ken. Been off for a week. I see you replied to me way down the thread. What I said still stands for me.
I notice the title of this thread is Ueshiba's Aiki. If we take that to mean the aiki he learned from Takeda then we could loosely call that Ueshibas Aiki.
Now if we wan't to talk about Ueshiba's Ai Ki then that's another story and I would say far surpasses the former above.
I would even say that the AI Ki leads to a different Aiki than the one described by those debating with you.
