I agree that too much material is bad for actual use. Too many responses for too many hypothetical variables. The most important thing is having the basics and the basic principles down, and drilling those to develop flexible actions and responses. Some arts will have more options; others will have fewer. But even though they're different in a lot of ways, the end goal is still the same.
