It is you as a practitioner who makes those lessons infinite in variety by discovery of more and more use.
jkd can bust open doors by breaking you out of what you already know and throwing you back into the fire. especially in context to live training.
so, I am not talking about traditional being "bad" it isn't, it is a grounding. The expansion to the grounding comes from deeper understanding of yourself and how you use those things that you ahve been taught.
I think the concept of jkd is a useful tool to beginning that line of thought and study.

Good stuff.
