I like the sound of it, too. I think you wrote recently something to the effect that we are the sum of our experiences.
In my line of work (acupunk/Chinese medicine), I see elitist BS all the time, too. There are so many different ways to practice acupuncture (TCM, Tung, Tan, Japanese Palpatory, Five Element, Korean Koryo Therapy, etc) and a lot of folks spout off crap about other styles. A lot of chest beating that reminds me of Wing Chun.
However, I am the sum of my experiences. So the analogy holds true. If I learn a little bit about another style of acupuncture, it doesn't mean I'm not practicing acupuncture anymore - it just means that I have more options. More options to heal for different situations.
Same with Chun, no?
