I've been around WCK for almost 30 years now, and have seen quite a bit -- loads more than you obviously.
And some like fantasies, ideas, and theories.there is a common idea that some hit and miss ...how much is for you to guage. not all students assimilate info the same as the next...they might like 'playing' chi-sao more than fighting.
Here's a starting point for you:I have seen the same line of thought from G Lam sifu students too...so not sure what YOUR talking about.

Doesn't sound much like Bayer does he?
And, as I recall Peterson himself pointed out on this forum that your view of WSL's teachings was very limited.
I have no idea what "prefighting drills" are -- if you are talking about the non-contact aspect of fighting, the WCK curriculum has drills, like dap sao (from YKS) or mun sao (from some YM people), that pertain to moving from non-contact to contact. These drills, like chi sao, are not fighting; they teach the actions/skills that then need to be trained in fighting.The system is abstract so many can't see the goals for the drills varying specialities. some don't do prefighting drills and stay fighting in chi- sao ....leading to your ideas.
People with loony ideas frequently tell others to "keep an open mind."keep an open mind faat man...you never know what may fall into that well.
