Perhaps Saito makes a conscious effort to duplicate teaching methods of the founder?
If I (when I?) teach Aikido, I'll teach in a manner governed mainly by how I as an indiviual learned things, and not by how I was taught. Obviously I'd duplicate some of my own teachers methods, but I'm sure I'd strive for my own ideas in it too. (This is probably a bad thing in many cases, such as cases of general incompetence, but that goes without saying.)
