Let's just be "yes" men to each other and not allow ourselves to be challenged in any way or have to demonstrate the efficacy or validity of what we say! That way we can stay in our own little rainbow robotic mind's fantasyland!
Lets quote obscure Chinese texts because they are the ONLY authority even though they were written before science advanced to the stage where we can demonstrate and/or invalidate everything they claim using the established laws of physics and biomechanics!
And while we are blindly following the ancient teachings lets take some mercury pills in order to prolong our lives and sustain our vitality!

A: In "combat", you need to ...
B: If you have "no mind", you can ...
A: Not sure I understand what you are talking about here.
B: You are talking about low level "self-defense" and I'm talking about high level "self cultivation".
A:
This is what I'll call, "a chicken talks to a duck".

Some how you have a believe that TCMA is train "solo" I have no idea where you get that from.
you also deny the TCMA kung cultivation part. That too I have no idea where you get that from.

From your own statement. Where is the word "opponent" in your statement?

The Chinese ancestor is using a Non-dual attitude.
Harmony means there is no you or me but one or Non-dual.
天人合一 heaven and human are non dual.
Even in Wing Chun ultimate, it says
Comes accept, Goes return, release and move forward, using silence to lead action.
No opponent word but it include every one.
you could travel your path. however, there are other paths.

That is because of your tendency to re-interpret what others are saying!
His thesis is very simple EVEN I UNDERSTAND IT!
1) MA are for fighting and winning against others.
2) If you do not train/test yourself against others, you cannot say you are skilled in the MA.
3) Standing post is not a partnered exercise and you have not demonstrated how it benefits one in a fight, you have only quoted obscure Chinese texts with fantasy claims!

We are "fighting" for our right to live, to exist...
- 人与天爭 We fight against the nature.
- 人与兽爭 We then fight against animals.
- 人与人爭 We finally fight against other human being.
- 人与外星人爭 One day we will fight against alien who invade our planet.

Bad the Fukc Ass
when the aliens come next year they will feel what a sword in the gut is like. and then they will blast me with plasma guns. it will be a good death.
For whoso comes amongst many shall one day find that no one man is by so far the mightiest of all.

That is your way you want to go that way, that is fine with me.
However, with Internal Chinese martial art which is the Daoist way. one needs to based on what is the fact.
The following is Dao De ching chapter 8.
上善若水。水善利万物，又不争。
处众人之所恶，故几于道。居善地，心善渊，与善人，言善信，政善治，事善能，动善时。
夫唯不争，故无尤
Chapter 8
The highest goodness resembles water
Water greatly benefits myriad things without contention
It stays in places that people dislike
Therefore it is similar to the Tao
Dwelling with the right location
Feeling with great depth
Giving with great kindness
Speaking with great integrity
Governing with great administration
Handling with great capability
Moving with great timing
Because it does not contend
It is therefore beyond reproach

Everything has Yin and Yang, the standing meditation is the cultivation of Yin, in the body and Yin of the mind.
Yang changes to Yin and Yin changes to Yang. Everything has a balance and is always changeing.
We need the Yang to balance the Yin, but if to much Yang, you are out of balance.
Yang is easy part to work on, most training does not include Yin part.
Yang against Yang, stronger Yang win, you always want Yin to be next to Yang if you are not stronger.
So in opponent practice you practice not to put Yang next to Yang, so you need to have Yin meet Yang so you can neutralize opponent.

Fight, you may die, run, you live, at least for a while. And dying in your beds, many years from now, would you be willin’ to trade ALL the days, from this day to that, for one chance, just one chance, to come back here and tell our enemies that they may take our lives, but they’ll never take… OUR FREEDOM!

again, this is your way not the ancestors Daoist way.

- Attack 3 times with your solo move (100% Yang), if you fail
- Borrow your opponent's force and attack with your combo 3 times (50% Yin and 50% Yang), if fail
- Play with defense (100% Yin), if still fail
- Put your tail between your legs and run like hell.
You always start with Yang and end with Yin but not the other way around.
You only borrow money from the bank if you don't have enough in your saving account. It's always good try to save as much money as you can.

I agree with you, I think you err when you presume that those whom you term "external" do not realize this or apply it!
