And that's fine, but without any any actual experience in the system, your current judgments aren't really based on anything other than hear-say. Not a very fair way to form an opinion about something eh?
I don't mean this to be a d!ck, but are you even interested in actually learning the art at some point? Have you considered checking out some local schools/clubs in your area? I would think with someone that's showing as much interest in the art as you are lately, that that would be the best way to get the answers for all of your questions you have (ie. direct, first hand experience).
Or are you just championing your own personal 'Save the WC Crusade'? :)
