Alright, I'll play along,
I stated Shyun is not the Grand Master, that doesn't mean he didn't master 8 step. I don't feel his basics are the same basics that Master Wei taught (althou I've never met master Wei). As for adding things, I belive he added a few 8's (blocks punches etc.), some body coordinations, some locks, and some throws. as for removing things the most basic of basics wheren't taught (the 8 moving steps), instead he taught 10 body coordinations. He may have mastered 8 step, but he wasn't teaching it in it's entirety to those he ranked as Shifu. I know that the 8 moving steps where taught as advanced techniques after shifu level, yet they are what comprise the base of the forms. When Jiang Hua Long mixed his mantis with Ba Gua, Hsing I, and Tong bei, he didn't continue calling it Mei Hua. Shyun has added quite a bit (not necessarily a bad thing, as he has added ground fighting and other throwing, and locking techniques), but by doing that it isn't 8 step any more. I don't mean to say it's worse or better, only different, and that he should acknowledge his changes, and stand by them. Honestly the only thing that annoys me is that he still uses that word Grand Master, had he dropped that title after the law suits alot of this argument would be deaded.
God bless the child that can hold his own.
