Of course social hierarchy has nothing to do with it, but unless you've done some seriously focused study on the breadth of staff in Aikido (Youtube wouldn't count in my book), I don't see how you could make that claim. How much of the "staff of Aikido in the world" have you experienced?

They knew/know something about the "matters." It's just a question of what's pertinent to statements made.
