If you are a style founder, and you have created 10 forms for the system that you have created. Is there any reason that you don't want to include some of the most important piece of information in your forms?

There you go
Though some teachers prefer to tell you when they think you are ready, rather than have you ask lots of questions.
That's not to say you shouldn't be thinking. But if you actually demonstrate an understanding, then the teacher may want to build on that by giving you more stuff.
Kung fu is about doing, more than about talking.
Sometimes its hard to tell who's patience is being tested more, the student's or the teacher's.
No form or series of forms can "catalog" all the techniques of any system, especially one that is evolving, like any decent system is.
What they can do is serve specific or multiple purposes.
They can be development forms such as the sanchin/sanjian/sam boo gin ones.
They can catalog the basics of certain levels.
They can store the "favorite" moves of a particular master.
They can store moves that are the "heart and soul" of a system.
etc, etc.
Do MA systems need forms for all that? No, of course not.
Are they useful when used properly? yes, of course they are.
Do they contain ALL? Nope, of course not.
Should they contain what makes the system, THE system? Yes, of course.

Praise be my Lord my Rock,
He trains my hands for war, my fingers for battle !
