I have to agree with Buck that queries as to his own specific experience for other posters to be able to place his remarks in some sort of elusive "context" is off-topic to this particular thread. I haven't read any of Buck's statements or remarks on this thread as necessarily relating to or depending upon Buck's individual ability to manifest any particular physical skill or demonstrate aiki. He's commented on Wang's students' credulity, asked some questions about what goes into students' acceptance of a teacher's demonstration, and offered some sources relating to Daoism and Chinese culture.

I might take a different position if Buck was posting about some demonstration of physical skill and critiquing it. But he's not on this thread. It's a general topic, not about whether Buck has a particular skill or training experience.

Especially in light of a pretty solid mea culpa from him in post #29.
